The tower leading up to Cologne Cathedral’s tower is uniquely lit with multiple windows. Here is my take on the view up to the bells.
Another view of the hill below our house. Prints are available here.
A little bit like alcohol ink, but more controllable. This painting is watercolor on Yupo, which is a little like painting on glass.
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:
These paintings are available in reproduction and on various products here.
Reflections on becoming an empty nester, via abstract variations of a bird’s nest I found in my backyard.
I love the warped reflections made by antique glass window so much that I was sorry to see our 1930′s living room windows replaced with energy efficient modern double paned glass.
But I can still enjoy the warped windows of the Mission Mill Museum. Here, reflected in the mill warehouse, is of the youngest of the three missionary houses moved to the Mill site after it became a museum. The painting is true to the shape and colors of the reflected of parsonage house, but not to the color of the Mill warehouse. In real life the mill and warehouse are brick red.
I painted it because the reflection made such a satisfying abstract design.
