An Aspen Alley

4.5x3.5 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done about a week and a half ago, an imaginary autumn aspen tree scene. I remember being too scared to paint trees so would avoid them but after studying their characteristics and sketching them in various stages of growth, they have become easier.

24x18 acrylics over a watercolor portrait of a woman named Carol. It was sketched then filled in but leaving her patterned scarf for the coyote's right ear and fur. To successfully rework a painting takes lots of imagination and determination. To see this art, visit Heritage museum, 510 Scurry in Big Spring, TX now thru 29 October 2022.

A Trunk Show

15x22 watercolor, Brusho, and black India ink on 140 lb cold press paper recently redone as one of my pieces for the fall Caboose Watercolor Society show "A Brush with Creativity". Opening day is Saturday, Sept. 17 from 1130-1:30 at Heritage museum 510 Scurry in Big Spring. The concept was when planning this exhibit to enhance, redo, or rearrange elements in existing paintings. These imaginary elephants only had pale color plus the ink outlines. I added grey, tan, and black Brusho crystals to focus on the animals' skin. Dates for show: Sept. 17 - Oct. 29, 2022.
