My works are included in these collections Ernst and Young, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Duke, Princeton, UNC, UVA, IBM, Texaco, AT&T, Time Warner, CSX, Verizon and the US State Dept. among others.

Trish’s Cutting Garden: the stages of a painting

Making Progress with Watercolors
This is my first session on my 2nd painting of Trish’s Cutting Garden.  The previous painting I stuck with a little too long.  There is a lot of detail but it is a little overworked.  This time I am trying for a looser approach.  The progressive photos will help.  The format is different 10″h x 8″w.  This time no pencil marks.  I am using the Ampersand clay board designed for watercolor. The surface really grabs the color.  There  will be no pushing, or removing color from this surface.

Now I must proceed slowly.  I don’t want to over work it.  I want to keep the rhythm, keep the flow.  Mind the white.
