Boat Yard (Watercolor)
Even to this day, I'm surprised when these on the spot watercolor sketches actually turn into something. As impressionistic as it is, I still like the boat for sale...
The scrawled "Sale" written on the bow is about as unreadable in real life as it is here.

New Year's Resolutions
Winter House, watercolor
It's a new year and it's time for me to rethink and make some new resolutions. I admit that I've allowed my work - as a documentary photographer - to take up all of my time. That's not fair to those who'd like to see more paintings. I am still painting, btw, but I haven't been blogging or posting. That needs to change.
So we'll make it a resolution to post more often. I certainly have the incentive to do so! I just need to make the time.

India Ink Sumi-Style Sketch, Oceanside and Seagull
Created with india ink and tradtional bamboo sumi-e brushes, this sketch of Oceanside Oregon rocks with a seagull was a fun experiment. Having studied Sumi-e, I had been meaning to use those skills for something new and different. This sketch is 9" x 12" on Strathmore watercolor paper.
