Green Bike, Marshall NC - watercolor

watercolor, 2015

original available, 11"x15" $100

      Still struggling with a looser, more impressionist approach. While painting, I feel like certain things are working well, like the red and gold molding and the potted plant. Other things just don't seem right. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just have to get used to seeing the finished product of a loose style and remember that I'm trying to get away from photographic realism.

Rome - watercolor

watercolor, 2014

original available, 9"x12" $50

     A VERY loose interpretation of a scene from Google Maps Street View of Rome for Virtual Paintout. Parts of this turned out exactly the way I wanted them to; others not so much. Overall, it's a reasonable attempt that gives the feel of a quick plein air sketch -- kinda, sorta what Virtual Paintout's all about.

I went very loose with this one. I'm still not sure about it, but it's growing on me.
