Author & Artist
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.
These are my submissions to date for my ‘Experiments with Watercolor.’
Each painting is 4in.x4in. Thankfully I still have a relatively steady hand.
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.
I took most of the games I’ve played over the years and put them into this piece. See how many you can name. (Ink and Copic Markers)
Games People Play
This is the time of year when family gathers to celebrate. A great excuse to break out the board games, play football, or participate in any one of a thousand forms of entertainment.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
How many games can you find?
Meet ‘Wally,’ the new character in the Al Clark Series Prelude-Christopher’s Journal. He doesn’t say much, but plays a mean game of Chess.
When I don’t have it in me to write – I draw. It keeps the old brain focused. I call this a Super Doodle. Incorporating all the different elements into the drawing was fun, although taxing. My Sakura Micron pens allowed me to blend at least 26 unique components into the piece, with some areas that are three dimensional. To tell the truth, I’m pleased with the end result.
How many scenes, objects, and creatures can you locate?
It’s been a while since I posted any art, and I have felt guilty. It’s just that there is so much time spent on promotion, there doesn’t seem to be much left. Anyway, this is an oldie but a goodie. Something I did many years ago, and one of my personal favorites.
I can picture myself (and fellow adventurers) exploring new planets, happily traversing the landscape without a care in the world.
My granddaughter is into rock painting, and is experimenting with paint markers. She’s a chip off the old block. These are mine. You can’t have them.
A view from space of the only known habitable planet. One would think we would appreciate the complexities and fragility of our world. There have been cataclysmic events in the past. However, we weren’t around to affect the change.
