Welcome to my little corner of the world. I will attempt to share my thoughts and passions about painting. I always welcome comments and hope you enjoy the view.

Another out of print gem. Printed in 1974, this is a wonderful teaching manual. I consider this and Frank Webb's book to be two "mother of all watercolor" volumes. Everything a budding watercolorist could want is provided here: laying washes, painting middle values, planning, spacial concepts, calligraphy, etc. If you go through this book and follow the step-by-step lessons Bob Wood produces, you will be well on your way to understanding the art of a great watercolor painting. This one is highly recommended and another must have for your art library!

a charming scene, one in which i cold lay down and ponder within and of beyond, i can almost smell the rural aspect
Hi. Thanks for your nice comments!
For some reason, I like looking at construction vehicles and sites and think about how I can work that into an interesting scene. This piece was the result of two scetches I did on-site one day at lunch time.
Thanks, again!

Great use of purple/yellow combo.
And yes, a very interesting composition.
