California Memories

I just love the rolling green hills of central California. It is amazing how they can change from being fire charred by fire or dry and brown from drought to great beauty by rain.

Bird of Paradise

While painting this beautiful flower I thought of Gauguin while in the tropics. Perhaps it is because it is winter and I miss the warmth of the sun.

Pear on a Branch-

This is a watercolor painting and watercolor pencil drawing that I did for the new Paint and Draw Together website. It is a great motivator, to paint from the same photo with other artists from all around the world. They then get to comment on your artwork as you can also comment on theirs.

King Arthur

While reading Don Quixote late last night I came upon a line that read, "...King Arthur of England who was transformed into a crow and whose return is awaited in his kingdom to this day."  I just thought that was interesting since I was painting a crow for The DPW Paint Challenge.  If you go there you can comment or just observe what all the different talented artist have done with the same challenge. 6" x 9" -$50
