IF … Farm

From my first visit to Fort Worth, Texas.

Every morning I was awakened early by the sound of the train whistles.

A Rose By Any Other Name …

Fussing with Photoshop filters and coming up with a few variations I like.

If you live long enough, almost every female you know becomes a mother. That one special person who will go anywhere and do anything to protect, nurture, and love you, no matter what. Especially the 'what', when there is a lesson to be learned. Thank you, Mom. I love you.

Spring

This piece began as a demo for my watercolor class last week. I usually don't have time to complete my demos, but I found myself with some free time this weekend to play with paint.

IF … Imaginary Friend

There is much to discover on a nature walk, if one looks closely.

IF … Sheep

These three images were created in one creative burst where I experimented with a limited palette and different stylistic approaches. The series went from a more serious approach (at the top), to the outright ridiculous one seen here with crossed eyes and 'jumbo shrimp' horns. I like the black gouache … its lush, velvety quality is a nice contrast to the transparency of traditional watercolor.
