Archdale Street - watercolor

      This is from a reference photo I took in Charleston last year. I'm beginning to think I should have taken more shots of the horse-drawn carriages. To me, at least, they seem quite dynamic in these otherwise fairly static streetscapes.

Apothecary's Shop - watercolor

      This is from a photo I shot in Old Salem, a preserved Moravian town first settled in 1766. I couldn't resist the shadows on the building when I saw it a few years ago. Even then I knew it would be a challenge to paint and this is at least the second attempt. I'm much happier with this one than with the first.

      Another one from this year's trip to Charleston, SC before the flooding in October. I was drawn (no pun intended) by the shadows of the utility lines on the white door.

Briles House - watercolor

watercolor, 2014

original available, 11"x15" $175

     The Briles House is an older home of one of the movers and shakers of High Point NC from a period when they had large homes right on Main Street just outside of the bustling downtown area, i.e just after the turn of the 20th century. It now houses the Junior League. One of my wife's favorites -- the house, not the Jr. League.

     Staying loose, I'm fairly happy with the house itself. The tree and sky are a different matter entirely.

Something a little looser, more impressionist after all the recent realism.

Blandwood #2 - acrylics

Loose and impressionistic - or, at least, an attempt.
