After the Storm

Gouache on Watercolor Paper.

Memory of Chicoteague

Oil on Linen laid down on board                                                    14" x 20"

I actually started this painting several years ago as part of a series that I have

yet to complete. It was meant to be part of a triptych. It was painted mostly

from memory, so that accounts for its very simplified treatment of certain

aspects of the composition. But I like it, and it conveys, for me, what I felt

was the delicate beauty of the marshes and the sky.

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.
