Maddy - watercolor

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

Farther Out Edgefield Road - watercolor

watercolor; 2019

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

Light Reading - watercolor

watercolor; 2019

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

Ballybunion - watercolor

      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

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.

On The Go - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

      I've been trying to do more figures that were dressed and going about regular daily activities. This girl seemed perfect, although I rarely use much true yellow. I feel like I should have used a more contrasting background color. But, maybe the lighter neutral helps preserve the light airy-ness of the subject.

Avebury - watercolor

watercolor, 2019

available, 11"x15"

      A quick landscape of the Avebury stone circle.
