As the sun sets.

Original Watercolor painted on location 2020 .  As the day ends and the sun prepares to descend below the horizon, the coldness of another winter night sends chills through my being. This sketch was finished on location just as the sun was setting.  The paints freezing on my pallet and brush were a challenge the entire time.  I’ve since learned that a little vodka helps, and it also helps the wash water not freeze.  ðŸ˜‚ Happy painting!

Light through the darkness

  The “Peace Candle” in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on a snowy and rainy afternoon. The monument is symbol of hope and peace. A light through the darkness, a beacon in a world that never needed its light more than it does now.  Watercolor sketch in Stillman and Birn journal.

  This year I decided to use some natural wood slices as a canvas for some small watercolor paintings. They turned out to be lovely tree ornaments. Getting ready for Christmas 2024. Should have many to offer. 🎄

"Down by the sea" An inspired page from my travel art journal.

  A page from one of my travel art journals. As an artist, I am inspired by and drawn to the magnificent ocean. Endless inspiration surrounds you.  I do tend to paint the stormier side of the subject, I'll take dramatic skies over pale blue boring skies any day.
