Big Red SOLD

four inches by four inches watercolor on clayboard.

The weather seems strange to me right now.... 25 degrees at night and almost 70 during the day. I have to change clothes at about 11 am each day. My allergies are acting up and I'm pretty sure its the Bradford pears, every year when they bloom I get the headache from you know where. The flowers are starting to bloom and I always enjoy being outside during the spring afternoons it reminds me of California with he mild temperatures.

I drove by the nursery looking at the flowers as I rolled by ever so slowly in my car knowing its still too cold to think about planting. The promise of spring was right there in all that lavish color and its hard to wait.
First things first, I need to clean out some more closets and also my back porch. During the winter months I let the back deck go and its a bit of a mess, all the flowers pots are stacked up against the fence dog toys laying wet and moldy on the ground and a pile of leaves I never picked up. The dogs have turned the deck into their private wwf wrestling area. They go out there and sit or lay in the sun waiting for a chance to go out beyond the fence gate and sniff the smells of a spring or just maybe they just want to check their pee mail.

The sea

I was looking thru a book last night and the book has numerous pictures of oceans and beaches all over the world. I can say.... I was inspired.

I don't usually like the ocean as much as most of my friends, I guess you could say I'm more of a Mountain person. But water itself has always captivated me. The currants and the movement of water is as beautiful as anything on earth.


This is smooth clay board and I thought the slick surface would enhance the way the watercolor moves and it would look very natural . I opted for a very simple wave. For a daily painting I think its a great subject.

"Koi under the falls"

Watercolor on clayboard. This was the inspiration for a larger piece I started a few weeks ago.

This ACEO ia on clayboard or ampersand. I gessoed the panel to give it a bit more tooth and it was painted with watercolor. It has a bright yet soft look. It can be sprayed with fixative or kept under glass (or in a plastic sleeve). This collector’s card, one of a kind original is signed and is mailed to you in its own sleeve for collecting purposes.

Sunflower Magic 1 and 2

Here are the two paintings I did last night, many days when I paint, I will paint more than one painting and usually I just post one but since these are almost companion pieces I decided to post them both.


Both of these are on Ampersand painted in watercolor and are 5"by 7"
