BiPolar Bear (India Ink on cold-press paper 12 x 14 inches).
Bi-polar disorder is a bear to suffer through. Being a bipolar bear may not be much better. But this one seems to be barring up well.
I have changed him up a little digitally:

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.

Just Before the Museum Opens (watercolor 17 x 22) available
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.

Top of Milan (watercolor 14 x 22) SOLD
When we Armitages travel, we climb things–towers, monuments, mountains, cathedrals, arches– we generally go up for the purpose of looking down. We are never disappointed. We weren’t disappointed in Milan. But the Milan Cathedral rooftop is different. The rooftop itself is an amazing place to be. It would be an amazing place were it on the ground floor. Here is my first painting of the marble forest that lives atop the Milan Duomo.
