Alley Light
Heading Home
Just one of the endless beautiful sunsets in the San Juan Islands, viewed from Lopez Island. A lone boater has just rounded the channel marker to enter the channel into Fisherman Bay. Watercolor, Framed to 14 1/2 " x 21 1/2". $450
On the Beach
This painting comes from a day at the shores of Lake Huron, near Port Austin in the thumb of Michigan. Some summer days are just perfect. This is one of my very rare paintings that include both a person and an animal (as opposed to landscape or still life). Watercolor, Image 10" x 14", Framed to 16" x 20". SOLD
Fence
I liked the way the sun slipped through the slats of the fence. This painting was meant to capture a wintry moment in our back yard. Watercolor, Image 7" x 10", Matted to 11" x 14. $250
Weathered Farm
There is a farm not far away that has inspired several paintings. The buildings on the farm extend back generations, some fairly new, some showing their age. This view of some of them caught my eye. It presented a good study in weathered wood. Watercolor, Image 7" x 10", Matted to 11" x 14". $300
July 4th, Lopez Island
Lopez Island, Washington, has some of the best fireworks around. We watch the 4th of July display from the top of a boathouse. This was my attempt to capture those fireworks in watercolor. Image 10" x 14", Matted to 16" x 20". $300
The Anvil
Because of the detail I paint, I work mainly from reference photos. An earlier post on this blog, Silent Forge, was painted from a print of a photo I took in Ireland. When looking at the same photo on my computer, I noticed a great amount of background detail that was not visible in the printed photo. So I did this painting, in sepia, to bring out some of that detail. Watercolor, Image 10" x 14" Matted to 16" x 20". $375
