Window Seat - watercolor

watercolor, 2018

available, 11"x15"

      When I saw this reference photo I knew it would make a great painting. But I didn't know if I could pull it off. A lot of patience and paying attention to everything gave me one of the best paintings of last year.

Moving Day - watercolor

watercolor, 2016

available, 11"x15"

      This was painted from a cell phone photo I took as we were moving my sister out of her house earlier this year. And, it's nice timing as we're in the process of moving my daughter into her first apartment.
      A moderate mixture of detail and looseness, I'm very happy with some spots, just "happy" with some others and I settled for a few spots. The biggest problem with this really was that it was painted on Kilimanjaro paper from Cheap Joe's. I don't care for that paper; it buckles much more than Arches and even the cheaper Moulin du Roi by Canson. The only good thing about it is the texture. The cold-pressed finish is much rougher than any other brand I've tried.
