Title or Location: America's Cup Harbor
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.

Title or Location: ?Desert Paintbrush?, acrylic on canvas, 11? x 14?
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. We didn?t have anything like that growing in New Orleans (and it was a terrible place to try to be a rockhound since it?s all delta), but I held out hope that when I g

This is an acrylic paintiTitle & Location: Plainfield, IndianaThis painting "Isabelle's 1910 Home", 12"x16?, was created as a mixed-media painting. The pictures of the house and a girl on the canvas were taken by an iPhone camera. I printed the photo on paper and tore along the edges. Then, I glued it to the canvas. I applied acrylic paint around the photos. During the Victorian era, they had many perennial gardens and decorated their interiors with lots of colored floral wallpaper.
