ACEO Original Watercolor Art "Bryant Creek Falls"

Another miniature watercolor painting of an area near my home.

A Dear Friend Ivy

A black and white portrait of an avatar from a virtual world who is in real life, a very dear and great person.

ACEO Original Watercolor Art "Horse Shoe Falls Niagara"

A challenge to paint such a small painting of such a large expanse of a powerful force of water.

Bryant Creek Runoff

This is a return to the miniature watercolor paintings that I have been doing this year.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson, the lovely actress who plays the part of Hermione in the Harry Potter series, is the subject of this black and white drawing.

"Severus Snape - Harry Potter" - Drawing by A. Verburgt

Back to my black and white portraits.  Severus Snape, a character of the Harry Potter series, was a request by a friend to draw him.

Cherry Blossoms

This was a fun piece of work in that I went to my roots of drawing, using pen and ink, then adding the watercolor that I have been learning. I am proud of the negative spaces - a feeling of the Oriental.

Mariposa

This watercolor painting is one of a real life person who in many ways looks like my secondlife avatar, Mariposa Pedalo. Each watercolor painting I do is becoming more easy and I am adjusting well to the medium. My wish now is to be able to loosen up and paint more freely.  A difficult step to adjust after having pursued realism in my art.  Portraits are just a matter of reapplying my skills of color etc from my experiences of landscape and seascape paintings.

The Irish Lady

I am currently adding more art to my portfolio especially my portraits of Avatars of secondlife and real life as well. This watercolor painting is one of a typical redhaired lady I met in Ireland several years ago.
