A dreamy like impression of my daughter.  An image from some photos I took for a talent hunt in Dallas.  I believe the talent hunt was a questionable but I did have a few photos to have as new inspiration.  I enjoy leaving pencil lines to fill end blanks.

A mixed media piece on watercolor paper, 10 x 14.  I have had a fondness for this type of creation since art school.  Not as "easy" as it may look, finding the "designess", the sense of belonging and then the serendipity of how the puzzle fits.

A 12" x 16" watercolor of my cousin from my dad's collection of old photos.  I know I'm not the first person to dig through old b&w's of family shots and this one seemed fun.  I had to ask dad what color was this car and he was proud of the two-toned green.  It is my cousin in front of it so I bet dad wanted another excuse to take a picture of his coupe.

A show at TCU in Fort Worth which this piece was accepted.  A mixed media piece having fun with the juxtaposition of other art work.  The artist and the muse was a favorite theme of mine and this photographer has a few muse's to inspire him.  He seems to be busy working while it is a beautiful Sunday at the park outside.

Art in the Metroplex

Post of the Metroplex show.

Another re-do, I didn't have the bouy at such an angle this time.  Plus I handled the water differently and the wave splash on the bouy too.  I also had a solid wash for most of the bottom part as well.  This image is 10 x 14 on 140 lb Utrecht w/c paper.   I believe a more successful image than the last attempt.

An image outside of the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London.  A 12 x 16 watercolor on 140 lb Utrecht paper.  I'm experimenting with a complete wash and then building on that foundation. 

A 10 x 8 on Utrecht 140 lb paper of Susan. Well I'm getting grief that this image doesn't look like her. Well as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter. It doesn't have to. The main thing is does it work as a w/c painting, maybe it does. And maybe it doesn't. You narrow your vision if you only worry about a likeness. As with Picasso's Portrait of Gertrude Stein, there was no concern from him that it did not look like her. Not that I'm a big fan of Picasso but I did like that quote from him, "She will" look like the portrait.
