Alice - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      Another portrait of fashion blogger Alice. I worked in a little more "looseness" in this one with the fade to raw drawing in her legs.

Peri - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      I'm not sure the photo does this portrait/figure justice. It shot a bit darker than it looks in person.

Cherries - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      A not entirely successful attempt at a still life of cherries.

Maddie - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available, 11"x15"

      Here's a portrait of Reddit user MaddieBuggs.

57 Buick - watercolor

watercolor, 2020

available, 11"x15"

      A little piece of the tail of a 1957 Buick. It's hard to tell from the reference photo I had, but I think this car had been hit somewhere in the rear causing an odd looking shift in direction for certain parts. Or, I guess it's possible that at such an isolated view some things just look like they fit together quite right.

Apaches - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      Just a couple old Chevy trucks left to guard the shed out back. There's a fair amount of dry brush in this one.

Pickles - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      Pickles is just misunderstood. Or, maybe he's the one that misunderstands.

Alice - watercolor

watercolor; 2020
available; 11"x15"

      Another portrait/figure of Alice, a fashion blogger.

Path - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      Something left over from a couple months ago that never got posted. I have another winter scene to post. I might wait until it's much hotter for a little juxtaposition.

Shoes - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      Another pair of my wife's shoes. She has a lot of shoes. So, I have a lot of still life subjects.

Maddy - watercolor

watercolor; 2020

available; 11"x15"

      A portrait of a Reddit user who posted her photo for artists to interpret.

Farther Out Edgefield Road - watercolor

watercolor; 2019

available; 11"x15"

      Another little landscape from Edgefield. I think this was the Johnson farm.

Light Reading - watercolor

watercolor; 2019

available; 11"x15"

      This is a figure I did last year playing with light and shadow.

Ballybunion - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available; 11"x15"

      A view of Ballybunion Castle on its cliff for St. Patrick's Day earlier this week.

50 Plymouth - watercolor+ink

mixed; 2019

NFS; 8"x10"

      A quick little piece I did for a friend's father. This was a car he used to own and only had a couple photos of it in his driveway. I sent it to him through his son, my high school friend, and he liked it so much he mailed me a hand-written thank-you note. Better than any commission check.

Sunday Morning - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

     A quick look at a northwestern church with a classic car parked out front.

Window - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

      Just another "portal" painting. Portals -- in the form of doors and windows -- have been popular in art for centuries. I like the inherent mystery of wondering what's on the other side.

Because I Am Shaken - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

      This one is based on a photo of a soldier of the Isreali Defense Force taking time out to pray. It made me think of Psalm 13.

Chief - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

      It's probably just a sense of nostalgia, but I have a soft spot for even these old full-size Jeeps. I'm sure if I actually drove one, I would feel like it was too big after driving a much smaller XJ Cherokee for years. But, I can't help wishing I'd been introduced to these way back when.

Proleek - ink + watercolor

ink & watercolor, 2019

available, 8"x10"

      A quick ink and wash of the Proleek portal tomb in County Louth, Ireland.
