Happy Turkey Day!!! Really!!

Well here is one of my notecards that I love to do before I start on my larger pieces of art.  These are for sale at all three of my galleries that I am in.  They are all original and if you purchase one it is the only one on the planet.  So when I kick the paint brush you will hold the only one that I did.  That goes for all of my 11 x 14's and 16 x 20's.  So if you are lifting this picture for your use without purchase--its not yours!!  It is mine only!!!  Have a Grand Turkey Day!!!!

Flash Drive

Good afternoon on this kind of rainy, foggy, dark day.  It is fall.  To me fall is pretty for about 96 hours then the leaves fall and the trees look naked and cold.
Anyway, here is my newer watercolor 11 x 14 painting that I accomplished the last few days.  I was trying to determine a flash drive for my computer while I was painting this so that is why the name.  That is how it goes with abstract.  Right?  If not join my blog and let me know.  Take care and hope you enjoy.  Check out my paintings at the galleries listed in my bio. 

Wiggles

Good afternoon.  This is my new 11 x 14 watercolor that took several days to finally decide which way and colors of paint to use on this particular painting.  I really love to put the lines in certain ways on a painting and this one kind of made me "wiggle" as to where to disperse them.  Hope you like it.  Take care and please join my blog or leave me a message.  Take care.

Staying Free

Here is a new 11 x 14 watercolor painting.  I called it "Staying Free" as the great Veterans Day is coming upon us.  Because of our Veterans we are able to be free and voice our opinions, paint what designs we would like to paint, and enjoy our lives.  So "Thank You".
I have been busy getting some of my work done as Christmas---"Thanksgiving" is around the corner
and we all have to get ready for purchasing of our work.  Thanks and check out the galleries that I am in.

Sideways

Afternoon.  This 11 x14 watercolor painting came to me a few days back when I was outside walking the dog and the wind kind of kept me sideways.  So that is how I came up with this title and how the lines do go "sideways".  I really had fun deciding which way the "wind" would blow and the colors and lines to integrate.  Thanks for looking and hope that you stop back soon. 

Deep Grooves

Good afternoon.  Thank you so much for coming to my blog and viewing my abstract work.  This particular 11 x 14 watercolor has many deep grooves in the attached hues.  I had to obtain a name so I hope that it works out with you the viewer.  Check out some of my other paintings below. 
again, thanks for viewing and hope you support us the artist and the galleries where we are located.

Hello There

Good afternoon
The wife and I just got back from the grocery store and eye doctor.
 Yep, I can still see and my eye pressure is just great.  Time for some wine.
 This is 11 x 14 that I finished this past weekend.  I had taken a lousy photo of it earlier this week and was not happy.  I took a new photo today and it came out looking how the painting actually looks.  I hope that you enjoy it and seek to patronize the galleries that I am in and purchase one of my hard worked on paintings.  Abstract painting is difficult and it comes from inside myself.  That is why I love this type of work!!!  Thanks and check later this week.  Listen to a great jazz station---www.kcck.org!!!!   Check me out on Linkedin

Thanks 

Flourish

This is a very new 11 x 14 watercolor.  This early am in fact.  I was happy to put the sequence of colors and lines in to the proper lineage and make an early attempt at this one.  In fact I think I beat the wakening of the chickens--I dont have chickens but you know--early to rise and shine.  Hope you enjoy it and let me know or join my blog....Check out my work at the galleries in my area.

Watercolor Crayon and Watercolor Pencil piece.

I was listening to the great jazz group Adam KromelowTrio.  The fantastic trio is very outstanding.  They have a great cd out called "Youngblood".  They are here in Cedar Rapids tonight for a concert and in Iowa City tomorrow night.  Check them out!!!   Their new name on next cd is Krom
I was doing my practicing of watercolor crayon and watercolor pencil and their music kind of took me away and put the beat and melody together and let me improvise colors and lines.  Hope you like this 11 x 14 painting.  The title of this is "Line Flourish".
