The Old Buzzard House on County 13

I finished this painting this evening - it is the painting we will be doing at our Monday evening class this week at Riverside Arts Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio.  The source of this painting is a photograph which I took this summer.  I previously  painted a  different view of this old house earlier this fall for the September project of Watercolor Workshop.  The painting is 11" x 14" and is painted on 140 lb. cold-pressed Fabriano-Artistico watercolor paper.

Beaver Lake from the Bridge

I painted this last Wednesday from the bridge that crosses the opening into Beaver Lake, in Natural Lakes, Wisconsin, in the Northwoods!  Wow! What a beautiful place!  This watercolor is 14 1/2 " x 11" and is painted on 140 lb. Fabriano/Artistico cold-pressed watercolor paper.  How I love this place!!!

Dunn Lake in the Northwoods

This is a painting I did last week in the northwoods of Wisconsin.  This is a painting of Dunn Lake which is in Natural Lakes, north of Boulder Junction.  Dunn Lake is in a very remote, secluded area and absolutely beautiful.  I thought that the areas of glassy, mirror-like reflections in the lake contrasted with the rippled water which was reflecting the sky made this scene fascinating.

Abandoned on County 35

This painting is for the Watercolor Workshop September project - paint something abandoned...so I had a photo I took one evening of a house that has been abandoned which is located on a remote county road in Logan County and decided to paint that.  The painting is 9" x 12" and is painted on Canson 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper.

Arizona Poppy

This is a painting I just finished from a photo by David Richmond, a WatercolorWorkshop member.  This is going to be the first lesson for my intermediate watercolor class at Riverside Arts Center in Wapakoneta, OH.  This painting is 9" x 9" and is painted on 140 lb. Canson cold-pressed watercolor paper.

This Little Piggy Stayed Home

I did this painting today for The Daily Paintworks weekly challenge.  This painting is 6" x 10" and is painted on 140 lb. cold-pressed Fabriano-Artistico watercolor paper.

I'm Baaaack!!! The Final "Rusting Through Retirement"

Well, after 6 days in the hospital and several here at home recouperating from 2 blood clots in my left lung, I am finally back to painting...it has been WAY too long for my taste.  I am doing okay - taking a lot of meds and trying to regain my strength and my breath.

I worked on this painting yesterday and finished it this evening - finally.  Now  I want to frame it tomorrow so I can enter it in a show on Thursday - I'm pushing it pretty close, I know!  Wish me luck!
