Split Rock 07

Split Rock Dark, watercolor, 22x28, 2007

While I was painting this, someone said "Look kids, an artist!"

Pics from the past

Island Lake Fishing Pier, watercolor, 9x12, 2008

I still have not painted since getting back from vacation.  I have been working on school stuff.  I'll be giving a presentation to staff about the art program on Tuesday.  I'm a bit nervous and when I am nervous I tend to use more words than necessary which causes the eyes of everyone in the audience to glaze over which just makes me more nervous.

More Rocks and Water

Here's the one Jill liked.  Same park as the last post.

Rocks and Water

Lester Park 2, watercolor, 9"x12", 2009

Here is a sketch from last summer in Duluth.  The grounds at Fallingwater in Pennsylvania were similar.  I was wishing I could sit down and paint, but I don't think my family would have been that patient.

More Plants

Side Lake Up Close, watercolor, 9"x12", 2009

I like the purple/green combination, and painting the extra layer of purple to get the shadow and the far away.

A Nice Walk in the Woods

"New Life and Old Moss", watercolor, 9"x12", 2010

I painted this when I was at a retreat at St. Ben's about a month ago.  It strikes me as significant the way new sprouts thrive among old rotten stuff.  I tried to capture the interesting shadows, but they changed too fast.
