Local Color

This is a modern approach to roof lines in San Francisco. It was for the Different Strokes from Different Folks challenge. The original photo was a challenge. It was very busy and washed out so I stepped out of my comfort zone and used the colors that I think of when I think of San Fransisco. The sky and the bridge colors for example.

It's Fall!

These apples were done for a painting group I belong to called Monthly Sketch Group. The reference photo was provided by Leslie Hawes. It is a rare nice crisp Fall day here in Southern California and these apples were just what I was in the mood to paint today along with the watercolor portrait I did while I waited for the layers of this one to dry.

Little One

This is supposed to be a painting of a friend of mine's niece if she can recognize her then she can have the painting as a gift. It is the first watercolor portrait I have ever done and it was fun. N/A

Flamingo Nights

Wow ! I've been away for a long time. Just got my oldest daughter settled in beautiful Portland,Oregon. Sorry honey but your old room is now becoming my new art studio (with a bed). This flamingo was watercolored on a card so that I can give it to a wonderful lady who has been a guide when I needed one. Thank you Marylou.

This is from a photo taken by Crissy who is part of a new painting group called quite simply Monthly Sketch Project. N/A

Urban Landscape

This is my submission for Different Strokes From Different Folks. I needed to do something quick, I had been out of town but really wanted to try this. I wanted to do something abstract and quick. I was kind of going for a feeling rather than an exact representation. I had a lot of fun just spacing out on it, I took off my glasses and did a lot of squinting.

Summer Harvest

This is my painting for week 37-38 challenge for Different Strokes from Different Folks. I had fun doing it, although the onions almost made me cry. In the end I'm okay with them but the corn could use some more work perhaps. I love the variety of these challenges.
8" x 10" comes with frame $150

Sisters

This is my entry for the May Virtual Sketch Date. It is an 8 x 10 oil. I am pretty happy with it . It is only the second portrait painting I have ever done. The first one was very comical . This doesn't count the endless doodles I do on the unsuspecting people during church service. (my secret is out!) I pray that these sisters will forever remain as close as they appear in the reference photo. N/A
