Boat Launch at Camp

One of my favorite views at Camp. There is a break between the blueberry bushes where we launch kayaks and the canoe from a pebbly beach. Gouache.

Pond at the Botanical Garden

View of the pagoda pond at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. The lily pads were interesting and the ducks were friendly. Painted in gouache. 

My Pond in the Morning

A view of my backyard pond in the early morning. Often there is mist rising off the water in the morning which I was studying here in gouache.

Fall Leaves at Sky Lake

Another study of the fall leaves at Sky Lake in gouache

Up on Green Mountain

There is a lake on top of Green Mountain called Sky Lake. There's a nice walking trail and even a covered bridge. John and I spent some time there to see the changing leaves. 

My Pond in April

There is a pond in our backyard and I am regularly drawn to it. I have a photo series of the pond during various seasons and times of day. This painting was referencing one of my favorite photos of the pond. Photograph taken in April 2017, painted in November 2017. 

Evening Sky at Veterans Park

We used to live in College Station, Texas and this park was very close to our apartment. I would drive by it every day on the way to work. The trees in Texas don't grow very tall and as a result the sky looks enormous. I took this picture in 2012, this painting was done in November of 2017.

Old North Bridge in Gouache

My favorite photograph that I took while on vacation in Massachusetts was at the Old North Bridge. Revisited in gouache.

Cape View in Gouache

View from our beach house on vacation in October 2016; painted October 2017.

Ornithology, Continued

I have been intermittently been painting birds for years, they are a subject I never tire of. Recently I've painted some finches, a titmouse, and a crow.

Value Studies

These pieces were monochrome studies; an effort to practice shading and value.

Gouache-tober

I set myself the task to make a painting every day in October. This is an exercise to become more comfortable with the medium gouache and to generate a creative habit. These are a few of my favorites.
