Cost of Art

I had a commission to paint a small watercolor of someone’s new home. The painting is 4 inches x 4 inches and it was shipped maybe 20 miles away by USPS. I hate to complain but mailing that small package cost nearly $10, which is outrageous.

Everybody is taking advantage of everyone else and it’s breaking my heart. Not to mention my bank account.

Learning to Watercolor

These are my submissions to date for my ‘Experiments with Watercolor.’

Each painting is 4in.x4in. Thankfully I still have a relatively steady hand.

Learning to Watercolor

I have always been interested in Watercolor color painting but never took the leap. Lately,  I have begun some tentative attempts to learn more about the art form. Here is some of my trial pieces. These are small, measuring only about 4 inches square.

A Little Town in Germany.

This is a drawing taken from a photo I took while serving in the Army. I was fortunate to be in during peace time, and was allowed to travel while playing tourist. Great memories.

Diecast Addiction

My obsession for collecting and customizing miniature diecast cars is becoming somewhat of an affliction. For example, this is most of my Pagani Supercar collection. All have been modified to include rubber tires and some have been repainted. All have been detailed.

Train Trip

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

I have always wanted to take a nice leisurely train trip through some great scenic countryside. Someplace like Germany, Switzerland or maybe even France. Something like a two week trip would be perfect. Alas , it’s a bucket list item I probably won’t experience, but I can dream…right?
