Doorway with branches


This one is based on a reference photo from "TrishaFitz2" at WetCanvas. Doug ("Yorky" from wc ) thinks I have the makings for a good series with these doorways and windows. I think I may agree, but I never really planned it that way; I guess the series found me! The painting is approximately 11X15" on 140lb Arches cp paper. Hope you enjoy.

Garden Window and more...


Several things going on artistically for me these days...

Teaching is a pleasure, the kids are entertaining and love to create art, so that is going very well.

For the first time in my illustrious career, I am going to give introductory watercolor lessons to adults! This is very exciting and a bit scary at the same time. I knew this was a direction that I wanted to go, just wasn't sure when it was going to happen. Going to start this up in January, so I have been doing some research and preparation to get off to a great start!

Been doing some painting, never seems to be as much as I would like during the school year, but I am certainly not complaining. Completed a Winter scene that I am yet to post and here is a scene from warmer days, that I have titled, Garden Window. It is about 16x18" on Fabriano cp paper. Hope you enjoy; and perhaps it will warm you up a bit! ; )
