Fall Feeling

5" x 7" watercolor on 140lb Canson paper.

I am personally ready for a bit of autumn. Cooler weather, longer

shadows, warmer colors.

Still Life

12" x 16" watercolor on Canson 140lb.

Just more watercolor practice. Keeping the loose style feeling.

Teacher and Student

10" x 14" watercolor on 140lb. Fabriano

I thought I'd do a rare figure study for a change. The photo is of me and one of my favorite artists -- Charles Sovek. This was taken at a workshop I took in AZ. The painting was done rather quickly, in a loose style that I've been experimenting around with. If nothing else, this just proves that I need to work on my "people" paintings :^)

I need to get more confident with painting facial details without getting too picky and overly detailed. Anybody who has ever worked with watercolor can tell you that this is easier said than done!

This is a bird's-eye view of a coastal town. I used very fluid oil paint and worked in layers. Each additional layer used 'fatter' paint (more linseed or stand oil mixed with turp). I'm finding I really enjoy working with a more fluid painting style. I'll experiment further and display some more here. As always, thanks for looking and your comments are welcome!

This one was difficult to photograph. Very dark subject and the room lighting kept picking up the brushmarks in the paint. Too much glare. I'll try to get a better pic soon. To see what I was after with this, try squinting your eys when looking. Shows table (with folds in tablecloth), apples, tea pitcher and creamer in basket, and candles. (New photo added 9/10/07 -- don't know if this one's any better, lol!)
