watercolor, 2017
available, 9"x12"
I thought I'd try this portrait of Herbie Hancock from an old black-and-white photo. It worked pretty well, but I still might try it larger and maybe a little looser.

Sunday In The Park - watercolor
watercolor, 2016
available, 11"x15"
This is from a photo I took during a Sunday afternoon food truck rodeo in the area. Not exactly my normal scene, I thought I might see a thing or two worth painting. I was right. I'm pretty happy with the looseness of this portrait. I'd like to go a bit looser with the color, but the drawing itself works well and retains a strong naturalism/realism.
Below is an ink drawing I did as a preliminary.

Saturday At The Grove - watercolor
watercolor, 2016
This is a family that was sitting the next table over while my wife and I were enjoying some live music at The Grove Winery in Gibsonville NC a couple months ago. I took some chances with several spots in this painting. The things I like about this one outnumber the things I wish I'd done differently. So, I'll call that a reasonable success.

Clarinet - watercolor+charcoal
mixed, 2011
original available, 15"x22" $350
Here's one from my instrument series. Most of these are done with charcoal and watercolor, an interesting mix that gives a wonderful amount of depth. I have a moderate connection to the clarinet as both of my older sisters played clarinet through jr. high and high school.
