8"x11" watercolor on 140lb arches paper

"Kestrel" by Debra Tritt Kreiger

11"x15" watercolor on 140lb arches paper

 I love to paint wildlife, especially when I actually get to meet my subject. I met this beautiful kestrel at the Charleston Aquarium. They call him Phoenix because his talons were burned when he landed on a live wire. His accident prevents him from being released back into the wild. He was a joy to see and talk to! In the wild he would be a little thinner, but I chose to paint him as beautiful as I saw him.

I also incorporated a new technique I learned from Luke Buck which really gives it a painterly feel.

"Sea Turtle Study" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

Sea Turtle Study 10"x8.5" on 140lb Arches paper

In preparation for a larger painting I just finished up this head study of a green sea turtle. The colors are exaggerated but the anatomy is accurate. I just fell in love with her as she was sunning herself on a Hawaiian beach. They are extraordinary creatures but they are endangered. Sea turtles have been on this earth so long they have seen the dinosaurs come and go, but they might not survive the cruel hands of our modern society if things don't change.

Getting ready for a Dragonfly Exhibit in Lancaster.

Next is a Female Banded Pennant.

I am still trying to work with my new computer

and am finally able to add a new entry.

My tried and true Windows XP antique

died of old age, and I had to order a ne one from Dell.

I taped the painting in one of my frames lying around to get the effect

of no matting- which I am starting to do on many

of my originals. Thought I would use the photo on our blog.

'Watercolor Study of a Marble Trout (Salmo marmoratus)'

Transparent Watercolor on Cresent Mat Board. Image Size: 16" x 6.5"

Non-Professional Photograph

Rare trout species from the Gorisk Region of Slovenia, found

in the Julian Alps in the Soca River Basin. The second largest

trout in Europe getting over 30 " in length.

I am starting to paint on a larger scale. Almost double what I had done for the 

first 50 species of fish that I painted. I gives me the ability to add even

more detail to the painting. Much of the research was from

Dan Sheppard's TV Flyfishing Show "Wild on the Fly".

He is based out of Montana, and gave me wonderful 

insight into this rare species.
