Walk to forget, 6×9 watercolor
I went through a phase with some of these. Actually it was online lessons from a Welsh artist, Dolores Phelps. She is one of the artistic grandchildren of the great Nita Engle (1925-2019). Dolores put her own spin on these free-wheeling techniques with a very moody palette and both me and my wife found a…

Shore lunch, 12x16in watercolor
I was going to trash this one, but my wife talked me out of it. She is (almost) always right, so I kept it and it has grown on me. Reflections could use some work – those are pretty difficult to get right. However, it did give me the same feeling I had while on…

Tent, 11x15in watercolor
This scene was from a camping trip at Wilson State Park in central Kansas. I was drawn in by the late afternoon light coming in over the bluffs behind us and shining through our friend’s tent. I actually got a critique on this one from a pro artist which was awesome. I had been pushing…

Dark grove, 9×12 watercolor
This was one of my last dances with Payne’s grey, a color I usually don’t prefer. I thought the sky turned out pretty good in this one though. 9×12 watercolorNew York Central 300gsm cold pressed paperCollection of the artist

Lone pine, 9×12 watercolor
A bright sunny day in Yosemite National Park. We were there last spring as part of a pretty grand California adventure. There are few sights grander than Yosemite, and it’s important these places be protected. 9×12 watercolorKilimanjaro 300gsm cold pressed paperCollection of the artistNot for sale

Out walking, 28x38cm
This scene is from Wilson State Park in central Kansas. A group of us were on a hike to see the Rocktown formations at the lake’s edge. I’m drawn to the stark prairie scenes available in my home state and this one asked to be painted. 28x38cm watercolor | Baohong 300gsm rough paper | Collection…
