At The Pond’s Edge – Watercolor

I really like the way this one turned out. It’s smaller than many of the paintings I do. It’s only 8 X 8. But, I think it’s kind of a perfect size for it.

And . . . . . Drum Roll! I scanned it with my brand new scanner, so it actually looks like the painting. And it’s a high quality scan, so I can later use it for cards or other things. I am moving up in the world.

“Wild Hearts Can’t Be Tamed”

New sketch I did over the last couple of days. Had to think a little bit about the name for it till I thought of the song by Pink. I think it fits this majestic creature perfectly.

And the new scanner I now have is a dream to use. That, combined with my photo software stitched the scanned halves of the drawing perfectly!

So, here’s “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Tamed”

Art In Public Places 2023

One of the wonderful things about where I live is the support for the local art community. Of the many opportunities given to the local artists, one of them is a thing called Art in Public Places. This year, I have 9 pieces that will be up in various businesses/locations and for sale in Stanwood and on Camano Island.

Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast

I did this one from a piece of art I found online that looked like a challenge. I was told one way to get better is to try and copy the masters. Though I didn’t copy it exactly, I think I did a pretty good job. I know, I’m nowhere near his level of art, but I’m learning!

The artist is Joszi Arpad Koppay (Austro/Hungarian, 1857-1927) Alas, I can’t read any of the journal on him, but there is a pretty nice collection of his work at https://kolybanov.livejournal.com/14459106.html for any interested in looking at it.
