"Blue Skies Ahead"

 300 lb. Frabriano Watercolor paper

This house caught my eye, with it’s wrap around porch and turret, viewed from around the weeping, Japanese, red maple. This painting represents a hopeful and positive outlook, while recovering from a hip procedure.

This painting is a bit larger than my usual size paintings. This backview, of the red house on the corner, really got my attention as the sun was setting. We’ve had some extremely hot weather for a few weeks straight, so painting a snow scene from last winter was refreshing. This home has continues to inspire me.

Another painting of this house on the corner. A different angle and a play on the light. I took a bit more time with this one.

This is the final painting that’s entitled, “Entrance - 4, Night”.

A more studied and planned out version. Again with this painting, I am portraying sections of my building, that have become important and familiar in my everyday life. I choose to accentuate the light and dark areas to create a mystical drama.

"Her Childhood Home"

"Her Childhood Home", 3/2022, watercolor, 18" x 12"

$500.00, (unframed)

 

I was inspired to paint this scene for a few different reasons. I know that a neighbor of mine had grown up in this home, many years ago. I also love the layout of this side view and during the twilight. It had a magical glow that I knew I wanted to express in my painting. The architecture is also very unique, like many of the homes in my neighborhood. Many do not fit any type of development style. The winter, bare trees gave it the haunting effect, that I wanted to accentuate.

"Horror"

"Horror", 2005, watercolor, 30" x 22"  $700.00 (unframed)

I painted this watercolor in 2005, after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami happened. A horrific tragedy that was devastating. So much suffering from in the war on Ukraine these days. My emotional reaction is similar.

"Fire Escape"

"Fire Escape", watercolor, 18" x 13", 2-2022    $500.00 (unframed)

 

I found this fire escape scene at our building interesting, especially the play of the shadows. It represents a feeling of home and connection.

Working from areas in my neighborhood, which I find interesting. I haven't been able to walk far these days, due to an injury, so I am enjoying finding ideas that are of interest close by.
