The top painting here is a post card sized picture of a mangrove swamp. I think it is based on a photo but really all my "based  on photos stuff is rather loose! I like it though. I painted this one really fast too. It as some watercolor pencil in it in addition to watercolor.  I do that sometimes and should probably note it when I do since this part of this website is mainly a sort of notebook for me to look at what I did right and what I did wrong...I like both of these paintings.

NOW, the below painting is one I really like. I think it is one of the better ones I have done. It is a 7 x 10 1/4 painting. It has very few things that annoy me and is very close to the actual photo--the lighting is different but I wanted it to be darker.

I also used watercolor pencil for some detail on the bromeliads. I love bromeliads and should paint more of them. The big one in the center here was a pain in the ass to paint. It was actually a larger and more crazy looking thing. When I painted it, and it looked very like the real one, it just didnt' look right. I scaled it down. I may give it another try since I like the image so much.

    Paintings from way back to now....I had a longer description from when I first started? But if you want to see me starting to paint again after a 20 year hiatus? Scroll back. I didnt post here for years but I will try to get back to doing so.
