St. Ives Painting School, Cornwall UK

Here I am on 29 May at the Tate Gallery painting school in St. Ives, Cornwall. We were getting ready to do life drawing/painting with a lovely model for several hours. What a fantastic experience to do art right on the coast of England! I'm in front of a large upper story north light window.

Neiman

15x11 watercolor of Mollie's kitty named Neiman after the famous ritzy Dallas store. Neiman is very gorgeous and she knows it! This calico has cat-titude!

Abilene Antiques Store Chair w/ Quilt

15x11 watercolor of an old seatless white wicker chair holding a handmade quilt on the antique store porch. In this Abilene, TX shop it was like stepping back in time and I could imagine the old black proprietress sewing the quilt or perhaps sitting in the chair.

Art Deco

22x15 watercolor of a Carolina street scene. This painting is SOLD!

Website Gallery is Down

Just like "Porch Pusses" peeping in the backdoor, people have contacted me about my website's gallery being blank, temporarily I hope, so please like these cats, be patient. So sorry!!!

Shell Game

5.5 x 7.5 watercolor on 140 lb Arches cold press paper, AJ paints, done today in about 45 minutes. Some negative painting, splattering, and minimal glazing can be seen here. Shells are imaginary. I tried to emulate water softly ebbing and flowing over the tiny stones, beach debris, and shells partially submerged.
THIS PAINTING IS SOLD.

Demo Windowsill with Red Pepper for Noonday class

15x22 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper. It was the first demo for Noonday's workshop participants, painted in under 2 hours wet into wet. I tried to show them how to do negative painting as noted in the herb pot's leaves.
