When you strip away humanity

A good painting for a hot day. Fun to see my student create snow. #watercolor #art #winter #StudioDonlyn

My first canvas painting was not pleasing me. I darkened the background, tweeked it a bit. No photoshopping, no altering with anything but paint. I’m happier now. #watercolor #watercolorart #art #StudioDonlyn

Today’s watercolor in progress on canvas. Very different than painting on cotton paper. #watercolor #paintinginprogress #art

I was a teenager living in a cabin in the mountains the night of the Big Thompson flood here in Colorado. It was a nightmare as the St Vrain river rose to the edge of my cabin. My heart goes out to Texas. I feel your pain.

Trying to finish my meditative painting that I started with my students. But the Big Ugly Bill is bringing me down. I am grateful to my democratic reps. I feel for them right now. July 4th I will remember my many ancestors who won the revolution. #watercolor #abstract #art

I would like to meet this high school track student and shak their hand.

My students and painted up a bluebird. I’m calling this “things are looking up”. That is my hope. #Watercolor #art #bluebird

My painting of an early morning fog in Montana. Oh that was a fun trip.

Let’s make June 14th the official Obama Appreciation Day!

Hoppy Spring to all who celebrate.

@coverart.shop Working on my clouds again. Watercolor is so challenging because after you lay the pigment down more water will still move it around. This makes the blue in my sky blotchy. I’m determined to master clouds. #art #watercolor

Painting from a Tony Coach class I took. Not my style but it was fun. He likes to paint fast. #art #watercolor #barn

My painting, Best friends. I will be with my best friends today and I hope you will be too as we say Hand’s off! Stay safe out there. #art #watercolor #friends #Colorado

Thank you Senator Booker. You make good trouble.

#GVerse Houston We Have A Problem!

So many pieces of video showing angry crowded Town Halls with GOP reps being shouted at. But why bother shouting? Aren't there state laws by which voters can mount a recall against their Congresspeople? Why wait until 2026? Kick them out now! #recallelections #nothappyrecall

My family came to Colorado in 1859 for gold. Thanks to the homestead act, they stayed. In 1875 they helped establish the railroad town of Niwot, named for Arapaho Chief Niwot (Lefthand). Yesterday we celebrated 150 years since the platting of the town. #NiwotCO #Niwot150th #pioneerhistory #history

I love you Alt NPS. You are the best as you care for our country.

Dear all foreign friends outside the United States, Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them. So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House

Spring is on its way here. #art #watercolor #spring #eggs

Schmincke watercolors are the best. Or so I’ve been told. I purchased this set just as the pandemic hit then I stopped painting. I’m able to add a few of my fav Daniel Smith pigments to the pallet. Now, to begin painting again. #art #watercolor #Schmincke #paint #newbeginnings

Some days you just have to paint veggies. #art #watercolor #vegatables #vegatableart

I painted the Altona Grange no.127 with the young Velma and Frank. They met at the grange and were married more than 60 years. Their daughter loved her painting. It’s now hanging in her centennial farm house. #art #watercolor #GrangeHall #AltonaColorado #farmlife

There’s a song, Hey, Ho, Chicken on a raft. After a flood the chickens were found on top of the hen house. I call this Hey, Ho Chicken on the roof. #art #watercolor #chickens #COflood

The work of Ricardo Caté. I pray for him. Wiithout Reservations. #art #cartoon #RCate #wiithoutreservations

Water droplets are always fun to paint up. #art #watercolor

My dad and Granddads use to listen to the baseball games on the car radio. I painted up this from a photo of the men listening to a game while the women were inside having a baby shower. 1941. #art #watercolor #baseball #radio

Forty-three years ago today, on my Great-grandparents anniversary, I was married in this chapel at Peaceful Valley in Colorado. It looked just like this. Many years before this I watched this chapel being built while I worked at the dude ranch. #art #watercolor #PeacefulValley #Colorado

I did this poured painting as a demonstration in a class. Most students painted in a realistic technique. The oohs and aahs were really fun as this Aspen glen emerged. #art #watercolor #aspen #Colorado

It’s post card time again!
