Magnolia

watercolor

Came across a photo of a painting I did
a number of years ago while I was
organizing reference photos today.
A past teacher showed me how to work
with water, runs and blooms and this
is the result of that lesson.

ever medium we wanted.

Poured, splattered, and used Derwent

violet background and center of the flower
in some of the red.

This painting is from a picture I
took down by Stevensville, Mt near

Circling Koi

Experimenting with fluid acrylics on yupo

from the paints on this paper and the ability
to add several layers of color.

This boy lives in Israel and his father is

determination conveyed in the photo.

More red peppers which I first painted
opera pink, but didn't like so I went with
red.

oil on hardboard 8" x 10"

This painting I did for my daughter who
loves Volkswagon Vans. She has always
wanted to buy one, add shag carpet, and
go on a road trip with her girlfriends.
Pinchalo is a nickname for these vans,
which the kids started as a road trip game;
counting to see who would end up with
the most counted.

No paintings for today.

Yesterday while enjoying a lemonade
outside a downtown cafe, my daughter
and I noticed a book on a planter that
someone had forgotten.......title of the
book was..... "Left Behind".

"Look At Me"

This painting was a work in progress, it was
started at the time of the Katrina Hurricane
in the Gulf of Mexico when I needed something
cheery to paint. I finally pulled it
out and finished it.
