Log Bridge Sold at CAAC show '23



2-23  i brought this painting home and decided to add a 'purple mountain majesty' to the space in middle of scene.  there was just too much blue.  Better.. 

 Theme wall for Oct is Bridges..  while looking thru photos we took in Oregon, over the years, i thought this would work.  I seem to enjoy painting water, i painted the canvas all Cobalt Blue.  It is a bit strong but so it goes.  the Red Oxide i used for the logs really looks "boss" as they say.   who says that??  i don't know.          
   WOW, this frame is wonderful on it. i also added more white to the rapids.  Photos don't tell the color truth.. It is necessary to see art in person, right????

Road to Toad Mountain ( Sold to a G4 member. that is a big deal.)


 Oversized idea is taking over my loose mind.  this is so fun.  liven up rather dull paintings with a creature, of sorts.  

  There are 6-7 fans that visit my new posts each time it put one up..  Who are you???

Windy, Shady SOLD AT CAAC show '23


 Used a photo of my neighbor's chairs for reference for this watercolor. They have 6 of them, all wonderful colors.  I used some of the tips from last workshop i took to make the various greens.  It was weird to leave the background mostly white.  Could add a huge frog or chicken, i suppose.
