Connections

16x12 mixed watermedia on Italia 140 lb cold press paper completed yesterday, an abstract experiment prompted by seeing downed power lines in past hurricanes aftermath.  Media used:  Watercolor, India ink, and white gesso.  I used a 1.5" flat Daler Rowney brush.

Clever Crow

9x12 mixed watermedia on Canson 140 lb cold press paper. Using a sheet that I put underneath other works supplied various abstract markings in acrylics, ink, and watercolor.  I took the bird out of his natural environment and placed him here as if snatching morsels of food from his surroundings.

Majestic Caribou

Two Lab Puppies ~ National Dog Day!

8x8 watercolor on Italia 140 lb. cold press paper done this afternoon for National Dog Day.  These were in my animal photos from the 90s but never painted.  The yellow lab and the black lab were playing in the autumn or fall leaves.  A good image to paint on a day it is 111 F. outside.  So hurry up and change seasons!

Guy in Class

6x4 alcohol inks on professional glossy photo paper done last month using Sharpie markers over the abstracted ink.  The guy in class is looking very focused on what the teacher is saying.
