stone way

Here is an acrylic done in the studio, referencing a photo I took with one hand at a stoplight on my daily commute. 24 x 36, acrylic on canvas. My friends seems to like it, especially the local ones who recognize the weather! Was going for a watercolor effect, but wanted the permanence of acrylic.

Ah, Skagit Valley rain! This is 12 x 12 acrylic on canvas.

Here is a small sketch from our Urban Sketchers - Seattle crawl last month. Love painting in this park, 300 degrees of city/water/industrial view! It's about 4 x 6, inks-and-gouache on black paper.

everything old is new again. here's a 4 x 6 sketch in gouache and ink. tulips may be coming back at last.

Would love to just set up somewhere on the lake each day and paint whichever house is nearby. Here is one where I had that pleasure, albeit quickly!
