Watercolors from the Everglades


The Everglades is foremost in my work these past few weeks. I have been focusing only on watercolor -- of water, gators, and sunsets.

I have also been painting some on the Virgin Islands.

These two large scale watercolors are similar in scope and theme.

One is finished..and one is just beginning.

The top painting is just started-- and there is so much more detail and nuance to paint.

The bottom painting-- SLOUGH that I worked on last December.

It is heading to WATERCOLOR USA in Springfield, MO for the 2011 exhibition.

I had it framed and shipped yesterday.

It's all been rewarding...to switch gears and work in watercolor.

Please come back and see the top painting when it's completed.

The Everglades painting is amazing. I love all the motion. It's a very powerful and engaging piece.I also love how the color fades at the bottom. It's simply wonderful.
