Following seven hours of taping out the subject matter, I took the watercolor out to America's Cup Harbor in Point Loma. At 9am I began throwing paint with my 6-inch brush to start a "Stylin' with Blue Tape" demonstration en plein air for the San Diego Watercolor Society Second Saturday Paintout. I always enjoy seeing people's faces as the paint spreads and drips across the 140 Arches Cold Press paper! Came back to the studio and spent another 5 days completing details.Exhibited:San Diego

I enjoy documenting my life in watercolor. I have a few completed watercolor journals. This particular page depicts a time we went on a hike in Crest - a rural mountain community about 20 miles east of San Diego. We were staying in a nearby Airbnb while our house was being renovated. We had no idea these trails existed, and now this illustrated memory will be cherished.

These lovely red flowers are called desert paintbrush. I first learned about them when I was just a boy growing up in New Orleans. I loved all earth sciences, but especially rocks, gems, and flowers. I had a little book that showed different flowers from around the United States and these desert paintbrush were always my favorite.

I really enjoy painting on black shuen paper. Since certain colors and washes do not show up very well, you really have to plan out your colors and markings. For this one, I used mostly dots in Chinese mineral blue and green and gold poster paint.
