I said I would post some recent watercolors once I hooked up my scanner to the laptop.
Well, it is hooked up and here are some new paintings.

Once again I am in to the tropical fish.  I think I will do some surf paintings now.

Playing in Charcoal


Had some fun playing in charcoal. It is a great way to get loose, and work fast. Charcoal help to work on a composition. More to come soon.

Island Days Sketchbook

Sketchbook Cover - Paint Pens 9"x12"

Ok, I have been wanting to do this for a while, so I finally did it. I painted the front cover of one of my canvas covered sketchbooks. I had a blast doing it, and now every time I see by sketchbook I can't wait to put something in it. I highly suggest everyone do paint the front of their sketchbooks. It is a great way to inspire you when you need and artistic pick me up.

Today's Update:

I went to the sand dunes and did two watercolors. It was nice to be sitting there under an umbrella, listening to the ocean, feeling the salty breeze, and doing artwork. I will be posting today's pieces soon, I just need to hook the laptop to the scanner.

Well, I am off to dinner and then back to work making more art.

Butterfly Fish

8" x 10" Acrylics on canvas.

Well, I am feeling the fishies again. I am a scuba diver and am fascinated by all the pretty fish. Here are some butterfly fish. I love how their patterns when in a school make it where you can't tell what is going on.

In my next post will be some more surf art. Well, I am off to do some plein air painting. I thinks some watercolors will be fun today.
