"Sweet Kisses" by Terry Moss

watercolor on 300# Arches cold press paper

I am revisiting my watercolor paintings just for fun.This one I painted a little while ago. My daughter took a picture of her children and I couldn't resist painting this special moment. 

Brushes are such a personal thing. You can spend a lot of money trying to find just the right watercolor brush. My absolute favorite, hands down, brush is a sable and synthetic blend. the Dreamcatcher series set from cheapjoes.com. I love the that the brushes hold lots of water, have lots of spring and keep their point.
I never use my 100% sable brushes anymore. 
My favorite size is 14 and 8.

Simple Magnolia 30X22

"Simple Magnolia" 30x22 by Terry Moss

This original watercolor painting was posted a few years ago. It is still a favorite of mine.
I hope you can see that you can add color to white flowers for interest. I think it is much more interesting that just pure white.


 You can now get prints of this painting any size or format at fineart

Audrey's Pink Roses

"Audrey's Roses" original watercolor 15"x 18"

This colorful painting was painted last year and continues to be a favorite. The inspiration these roses was the bouquet My granddaughter Audrey got form her dad after her first dance recital. Couldn't resist painting them for her to remember.

This original watercolor painting as well a print in any format or size is now available. Fineart

"Wellsville Canal" 5X7 pastel on sanded paper

"Wellsville Canal"       5X7      pastel       Terry Moss       $120
Painted on archival sanded paper

Brought out my pastels today. It has been a long time but I managed to paint four small paintings today. There is something about the earthiness of pastel that lends itself to landscapes. I love to use them to paint rural areas and especially marshes and small creeks. Can be purchased on my Etsy 

 My Moose has turned into a 24"X 24" gallery wrapped canvas. It looks great above Thomas' mantel. If you want your own Moose on canvas (any size) contact me at  terrycmoss@gmail.com
