Yesterday as I was cleaning the studio, I came across a couple of watercolor and acrylic paintings, which were works in progress. They were my first attempt to break out of the cyclic creative block that I seemed unable to shake this past week.
One of them represented the different emotional and psychological imprints that can [...]

I have been a busy bee over the past week or so. Unfortunately, this means I have had less time for blogging.

Today was another gorgeous, wonderful day here in northern California!
Today, I prepped a couple of sheets of watercolor paper for tomorrow and did this painting in the afternoon. It was one of those happy accidents.

I am looking forward to this weekend because we don’t have anything important planned and [...]

I started out this beautiful sunny morning with some warm up exercises using acrylic alcohol resist techniques and metallic watercolor paint.
The beauty of these is that they can be used as a start for a painting or you can tear them up into interesting shapes and use them as collage material for other paintings. You [...]

Today I woke up to another grey, rainy day and I really didn’t feel much like doing anything so I grabbed a cup of good strong Irish tea and began my day.
Later in the afternoon, I was able to work in the studio and started laying in the background colors on this painting. I also [...]

It felt really good to have two full days in the studio so I could get some work done. My [...]

Today I played around with monoprinting using watercolor and acrylic. I added a dash of Golden’s Fluid Acrylic “Nickel Azo Gold”, to deepen the yellow areas, and then used Cretacolor pencils for the rest.
