Angie #35 - watercolor

watercolor, 2016
nfs, 7"x11"

      Another portrait of my beautiful bride. I've very happy with how the shadows on her face and reflections on her sunglasses worked. The reference photo was taken by her BFF several years ago on a girls outing to the Grove Winery in Gibsonville NC, a one-time favorite haunt of theirs.

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

watercolor, 2015
original available, 9"x12" $75

      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

     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.
