French Sheep!

I am doing studies now... of imagery from my recent trip to France. I have been captivated by the scenery there-- and now want to capture it on paper!

Wish me luck!

There is time this winter-- to try to convey my feelings about France, Hawaii, and the Everglades... not to mention the Virgin Islands. All special places I visited and taught in.

I hope to scare up a cohesive body of work soon!

So, here's to watercolor with gusto!

Time to paint!

STILL WATERS- Watercolor from the Everglades Series

This large watercolor is from the Everglades Series I have been working on.

The pond scape format of slow moving water is indiciative of the wonderful imagery I am trying to portray to convey that complex ecological region.

The Everglades is prinicipally a slow moving "river of grass".... for miles and miles.

The million acre park is a pristine wilderness-- sheltering many animals, birds, and plants.

Over the coming months-- I hope to pursue a complete exhibtion of this national park.
