• Cool Waters

  Posted on Wednesday April 15th, 2009 at 11:10 in water, watercolor, mountains, trees, ink, countryside, watercolour, banderas, reeds

  This 8" x 10" watercolor painting was done because I like the elements of this countryside--mountains, trees, reeds and water. This is 99% watercolor and naturally I had to grab my pens to add some ink. It's almost a pure watercolor painting. The ti...

• Boulders Are The Beach

  Posted on Wednesday April 1st, 2009 at 09:55 in beach, watercolor, mountains, ink, lake, watercolour, woods, sierra nevada, boulders, banderas

  Huge boulders become the beach of this cold water lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. These lakes are totally surrounded by boulders and are perfect receptacles for snow runoff. The water remains very cold most of the year and maybe by August or Sep...

• Wind-Swept Tree

  Posted on Saturday December 20th, 2008 at 11:40 in drawing, illustration, California, watercolor, mountains, ink, tree, watercolour, yosemite

  This rendering shows my color version of a lonely wind-swept tree high in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Yosemite. I had posted this previously in a black and white version only. With the added watercolors, I feel the art has more interest. These h...

  During the end of May we took a trip to Lake Tahoe to see a friend and have lunch. I was excited to take my art equipment and camera. I planned to sketch outdoors as well as take photographs of the lake. Unfortunately, the day was gray, dark and col...

• A Hint Of The Old West

  Posted on Friday February 22nd, 2008 at 09:45 in drawing, watercolor, mountains, ink, west, watercolour

  An old structure still stands on the plains near the mountains. I have no idea if this was somebody's home or if this was part of an old town. Whatever It was it remains very lonely, beautiful and serene. Part of the beauty of this landscape is that ...
