Early Spring (watercolor on yupo 11 x 14) Available
A little bit like alcohol ink, but more controllable. This painting is watercolor on Yupo, which is a little like painting on glass.
3:54 pm
These are my very first alcohol ink paintings. The process is fast and exciting if not exactly controllable. Each of these paintings was completed in under thirty minutes working on Yupo with an eyedropper, cotton ball, cotton swab, gravity, and a mister. The good news it creates beautiful glowing results almost by magic. The bad news is that over half the painting made this way are fit only for the trash. These are the winners:
Blue Mountains I (alcohol ink 5 x 6) Available
Blue Mountains II (Alcohol Ink 5 x 7) Available
Blue Mountain III (alcohol ink 5 x 7) Available
Blue Cliffs (Alchohol Ink 4 x 7) Available

Freight at Dusk (16 x 21 watercolor) Available
I drive through Albany on my way to Art in the Valley several times a month. Crossing over the railway bridge I admire the trains, but there’s no place to pull over and stop. So last month, I made a point of pulling into the station and walking up the bridge to photograph the trains. I may do it again at a different time of day.

Birth of Venus One (18 x 24 watercolor) Available
Birth of Venus Two, (18 x 24 watercolor) Available
Botticelli’s Birth of Venus is stunning, but it never captured the delivery part of birth for me. Botticelli’s Venus is serene. She is arriving at the shore, the messy birth process long behind her. My Venuses are actually in the process of emerging from the sea foam.

Perhaps Persephone (watercolor 16 x 22) SOLD
Initially, this painting was inspired by a bird’s nest left over from last Spring. Looking at the nest, the woman with bird’s nest hair and the whitewater dress rising from the ground just came to me. She became Persephone as painted her. Now she is drowsily sinking back into the earth before her return to Hades and the Underworld. She’ll be back in the Spring.
