Tempranillo - gouache

gouache, 2014

original available, 9"x12" $75

      This is more of an experiment in loose painting more than anything else. I really didn't like it until I took another look at it today. I'm still not crazy about it. But it has it's merits. It's growing on me, in other words.

Vines - watercolor

      This one is very loose, possibly too loose. I'm still not sure about it. I could still go back in and add to it with pastels or ink.

Banner Elk - watercolor

watercolor, 2014

original available, 8"x10" $100

prints also available

     This one is painted from a photo I shot at the Banner Elk Winery here in North Carolina several years ago, so long ago, in fact, that it was shot on film. I shot several photos while we were there with an eye toward painting them later. This is the first -- and will probably be the only -- one I've actually painted. I hit it loose and more suggestively. I'm trying to move away from being a camera myself  - at least sometimes.
