Wave and Reflections


Gouache (opaque watercolor), 4 1/4 x 3"
I'm teaching gouache again this quarter at school,
so I've been practicing the medium in order to be
able to give demonstrations in class.
I was quite pleased with the overall appearance of
this piece - particularly the reflections. (love those
little pieces of blotter paper!)
All of my work in this medium is small, and as a
matter of fact, I keep it all in notebooks. This was done
on Fredrix watercolor canvas, which I love. I cut
it out and pasted it in my landscape notebook with
all the other paintings. I love my collection of notebooks!
Thanks for visiting.

Woman from Giza


Pencil Drawing, 2 1/2 " x 3 3/4"

I went to Egypt in 1972 - many years ago. But
I still vividly remember the women and their
sometimes ornate, but usually, black, clothing.

I found this image in an old book about Egypt.
There was no credit for the photo, or I'd give it
here.

Thanks for visiting.
