At the Coast

5" x 7" watercolor on paper in Moleskine sketchbook

Here is a scene alone the dunes on an eastern coastline. The storm clouds overhead loomed as the rains began to fall.

Well, this will be my last entry for 2007. Since starting this blog in March, I've had over 2500 viewers. Thanks to all who stopped by. Come back for an even bigger 2008!

Cyclists' Portrait

5" x 7" watercolor on paper in Moleskine sketch book.

A somewhat abstract paining of some bike racers. Man, I need to work on my portrait skills! Ha, ha.

Across Lee's Bridge

5" x 7" watercolor on paper in Moleskine sketchbook

This is a view across a river and bridge to the hills beyond. I'm trying out a new tube of Winsor and Newton manganese blue. You can see this intense color in the tree shapes on the right hand side of the painting. This color has wonderful granulation properties. I'll enjoy experimenting with it!

Happy New Year Abstract

9" x 12" watercolor on 90lb. Acquarello paper

A little doodle for beginning 2008.

HNY everyone!!

Waterworks

12" x 9" watercolor on Fabriano paper

A kind of abstract look at a mountain-side waterfall.

North Rim

12" x 9" watercolor on watercolor canvas

Yet another for the 'Winter 2007' collection. I enjoy working

on this Fredrix watercolor canvas. Corrections are very easy in that even

the staining colors do not absorb into the canvas, so wiping out and painting

over is a snap.

Winter Wonderland

5" x 7" watercolor on paper in Moleskine sketchbook

More in the series of winter paintings.

Merry Christmas Tree

7" x 5" watercolor, gouache, and ink on paper

Season's Greetings and Happy New Year to all!!

3 Christmas Cards

5" x 7" watercolor on paper - Moleskine sketchbook.

A quicky, loose sketch of three cardinals with a "patch on patch" background.

This is something Frank Webb does with many of his fine backgrounds. The secret to pulling

it off successfully is keeping the 'patches' very close in value.

Happy Holidays, everyone!!
