Peterson's Farmall - watercolor

watercolor, 2018

available, 15"x22"

      I took a slightly different approach with this one and made the simplification of details easier on myself. Doesn't hurt that I'm finally trying a half-sheet again. Since I've started photographing my paintings, I can go bigger again for better effect. I haven't done anything larger than 11"x15" in several years.

      This one turned out just about as perfect as I can probably hope to get. There's only one thing I would change. That's pretty good for me.

On Edgefield Road - watercolor

      Just a quick field and barn. The composition here doesn't do much for me. But parts of it worked nicely.

      An old '58 Edsel Ranger left in a field.

Edgefield Winter Morning - watercolor

      I'd been sitting on this reference photo for a couple years because I wasn't sure if I could get it believable. I'm glad I finally dove in. It turned out to be one of my favorite landscapes. And, it's quite appropriate for the winter storm my area is dealing with now.

Edgefield School - watercolor

watercolor, 2017

available, 11"x15"

      Just a fairly quick impressionist landscape of the old school in Edgefield, a magical place. As always, I wish the sky had scanned better; it's a moderately better one than usual.

Barn - watercolor

      This one went a lot darker than it should have. But, it turned into a study in pulling out all the stops and using all the tricks to save a failed painting. And, I'm still not crazy about it.

Doghouse - watercolor

watercolor, 2015

available, 11"x15"

      Another old farm this week. Just a quick landscape of a place in eastern North Carolina. This one does a reasonable job of mixing realism and impressionism, I think.

     The effects of the recent winter storm on an abandoned farm near my sister's house.

        Merry Christmas all! I know this isn't very festive, but I've never had much success with holiday-themed pieces. Maybe that's something I should think about for the new year.

Westchester Work Trucks - watercolor

watercolor, 2014

original available, 11"x15" $200

prints also available

      I drive by this old gas station converted into a detailing shop once in a while. They always have a handful of trucks parked in a near-swampy field next door, some of which are for sale. I finally saw this arrangement that made me grab my camera to get a reference photo. I got a few other shots from different perspectives, close-ups, etc. So, you'll probably see one or two more paintings of these trucks. This is the same place where I found the 1950 Kaiser I've painted several times (50 Kaiser #1 and 50 Kaiser #3). Obviously, there's a 50 Kaiser #2 also that I haven't posted here yet.
