Walhalla

From Park Rapids, Bobbie and I traveled to Langdon then on to Walhalla, where I gave a mini watercolor workshop/demo to the Brush Bunch, a delightful group of artists that meet every week to share ideas, lunch and DO art..

Art At The Lake #9 for me..it is SOLD, mostly..

This was the 10th year that RRWS sponsored the AATL in Park Rapids, MN, with Ann Kaese as coordinator. always fun to go to this wonderful facility and make art. I've only missed one year. My buddy, Bobbie, usually goes with me.  This year we did watercolor batik, a whole new concept for us.  many layers and many decisions as to color and value..  FUN... Instructor was Linda Renaud from Dickinson, ND, she was fantastic.
. i framed 1/2 of this and it sold at the Pekin  show.

the big apple 2-22 Donated to Pekin art auction

12-9-19   I just had to mess around some more on this fruity painting.  I used some gouache and some acrylic over the watercolor..  layer, layer, layer..  got rid of the sick red apple.. it may show up in a collage painting some day, cause i don't throw much away...   on 2nd thought, i framed it in a free 11x14 my friend, Diane, gave me... looks oK.

Pacific Sundown Sold at Holiday show

I started this at our Thursday group, as we were doing a class in Acrylic painting and my part of the class was to paint "sky"...  i used a photo i took in Oregon a long time ago..  Seems a little dark. I used a yellow undercoat color so of course there are some green hues.. but it is OK...
