Setenil Fortress (watercolor 15 x 24) $600
Setenil de los Bodegas of Cadiz Province, Spain is one of the more interesting pueblos blancos of Andulacia. Unlike most pueblos blancos it occupies either ridge of a valley rather than a hilltop. Many of the houses are semi-troglodyte, occupying shallow caves in the valley walls. One street includes a natural tunnel.
The view in this painting is from our apartment porch in Setenil looking across at the old castile.

Sunflowers with Chair (16 x 20 Collage) $600
This is the first collage I’ve published on-line. It is hand-printed paper on plywood.
I began my foray into collage by hand-printing and hand-marbling paper to create a paper palate. I print paper using stamps, found objects, combs, palate knifes, and other implements to texture acrylic paint on a gel pad. As I work, I stamp a sheet of paper with the paint I’m lifting from the gel pad. When I have the gel pad textured to my satisfaction, I lift one or two prints from it’s surface by laying paper down on the pad. Later, I may stamp the gel pad mono-prints with a contrasting color. The goal is to have many textures in a full range of color and value.
Ultimately I tear the paper into little pieces and glue it to boards with liquitex to create paper “paintings.”

Haarlem Kirk (16 x 23 watercolor) $700
We spent our last day in the Neatherlands in Haarlem. Haarlem is just just under a half hour by train from Amsterdam, but feels like it’s miles away because where Amsterdam is large and lively, Haarlem is small and quiet.
The young women in the foreground were adding more chalk to a square already covered in graffiti. None of it was pictorial and all of it obviously washes off with each night’s rain.

After Midnight (17 x 23 watercolor) $700
After Midnight began with a lecture and demonstration I did for the The Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Fall 2016 Convention. For the demo, I painted the Munich Rathaus Tower six time in various stages of completeness. Below is the one painting of the six I completed:
Munich Rathaus (8 x 13 watercolor) $200
I liked the this little painting so much, I felt compelled to do it again in a larger format. But I didn’t want to just repeat the painting on a larger scale. The tower, like many in Germany, reminds me of fairy tale illustrations. So I ran with that notion tweaking the scene just a little to add a rather unreal illustrative moon and an impossible sky.

Cesky Krumlov is a magical town of twisting streets, nestled in a river bend. The castle, churches, and residential neighborhoods occupy the hill about town. This is the view is the from the residential neighborhood above the river. The “street” down into town is actually a stairway.

Snapshot Cafe (watercolor 14 x 23) $600
Despite the lack of canals and only a single bicycle, this is Amsterdam on a summer evening. But it could be anyone of a number of European street scenes.
The title is a bit of a pun. I painted the picture from a series of snapshots, and girls in the foreground are sharing a snapshot. I hope the atmospheric nature of the painting has little to do with snapshots.

Pillars of the Humanities (watercolor 17 x 21) $600
This is my first painting since returning from our month long odyssey to Europe. I began with the Pantheon in Paris. I made the cream colored columns vibrant to match the intellectual vibrancy of the persons buried in the crypt: Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Louis Braille, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, Alexandre Dumas.

Cowboy in Chinatown (watercolor and gouache 16 x 22) $600
There is still a Chinatown in Victoria, B.C., but it’s only a few blocks long now. The Fantan Cafe dominates the street. It’s still a fun and colorful place to visit. The entrance arch remains, and they still hang Chinese lanterns.

Just Before the Museum Opens (watercolor 17 x 22) $600
I love city light. The shafts of light created by openings in the tall buildings, the reflectivity of building and pavement, and the flat surfaces for shadows all lead to one thing—drama.
This particular drama is the long shadows and the warm glow of a Chicago winter morning. The crowd is up early and waiting for The Art Institute of Chicago to open up. The crowd and bus hide one lion, but the other can be seen peeking out from behind the traffic light.

Downtown Spring Outing (watercolor 15 x 23) $500
I took my daughter college looking this Spring. As part of that trip we got to stay a couple nights in downtown Chicago. This is Wabash Avenue just North of Adams and about a block from The Art Institute of Chicago. The mother and child are just passing Palmer House Hotel. A light snow had just melted and by our Oregon standards it was nippy.

Village Stairs (19 x 12 watercolor) SOLD
This is a back “street” in Riomaggiore where the streets are not only likely to be too small for cars, but may include staircases. I loved the light at the end of the tunnel effect and the contract between the brightly painted wall and the natural stone stairs. The woman was both beautiful and big.
