It has been awhile since I posted any paintings. I am pretty sure I have done a few since the last ones I posted (so much for this being a chronicle of everything I do with an eye for changes and progression!).

The top painting is actually as much pastel, pencil and water color pencil as it is "painting" although there is certainly watercolor and probably gouache in it. The piece is on 9 x 12 1/8 inch Arches 300 lb watercolor paper. It is similar to some others I did and is based on any of a number of photos Ive taken in the Everglades and Big Cypress--which are often actually of cypress trees. But I sort of made them cypress . I called this one Mahogany. It has a sort of unfocused feel.

The piece above is also watercolor, pastel, gouache, pencil and watercolor pencil. This one has more paint than in the Mahogany painting. It is also larger and is on 12 1/8 x 161/8 Arches 140 lb watercolor paper.  This one isn't based on anything and came out of my brain...It is sort of meant to look, in the background, what parts of the glades look like when you squint your eyes.  This one is cleverly called Trees 2014.

The piece below is also on 9 x 12 1/8 inch Arches 300 lb watercolor paper. This one is, so far, all watercolor and is not done. This is sort of the background for the painting. The top is more done than the bottom of this one.  It probably won't have pastel in it (but it might) but I am likely to add pencil and watercolor pencil...maybe some other things....I will post the potentially ruined altered version.

    For many years I painted. Then I stopped. These paintings started out a sort of experiment. Even when I did paint I never did watercolor. I spent a lot of time trying to be Van Gogh painting oil. Most of the paintings were unfinished. I decided to start using watercolor based only on the recollections of what my father had tried to teach me years ago. The newer paintings are the more recent. If you go back to the beginning you can see the early stumbling ones.

    I didn't start by drawing, I didn't practice. I just painted. I haven't included ALL the paintings and at some point I will post the first ones I did. But most of the paintings--for good or ill are here. Some are oil and also gouache.
