Wild Washes



This quickly done watercolor pops from the imagination.  I played with colors and used infused washes  (color introduced into wet shapes--always more pigment and less water as you proceed).  Play with shapes.  See what materializes.

No Mortgage


Wander.  Wander and you sometimes discover something the earth is reclaiming and that you can claim as an artist too.  Sketch it.  Paint it.  Keep a great memory.

Blue River



This watercolor was painted from a sketch done in the Methow Valley.  I was playing with a variety of blues, experimenting with lost and found edges.

A Little Spring


This close up watercolor study illustrates that a world of subjects is right at our feet.  Instead of looking at a sunset, I look at a picket fence and spring flowers weaving through boards.
