Transmit

Good afternoon.  Here is my new 16 x 20 watercolor painting.  I really was excited to try out some plastic devices that had not been thrown out.  They had some wide areas that made it possible to scoop up and spread the watercolor just like acrylic.  Some with edges like a comb.  Had a fun day with the colors and materials to "Transmit" this into my painting.  Hope you like it.

Into The Blue

Good evening.  This is my new 16 x 20 watercolor.  On my google+ I did not have a title prepared.  A lady that looked at my blog came up with this title.   I thought it fit just fine.
This is in a 2 and 1/2 white mat.  It is prepared to go to one of the galleries soon to be purchased.  Hope you like it!  Let me know.

New Day

This is my new watercolor on 140 lb paper.  The size is 34 x 28 including the 2 and 1/2" white mat.  I usually do not go with the larger size of paintings.  But I thought I would try since I did have a watercolor in this previously that needed to be changed.  Hope you like it.  Please let me know.  That really does help us artists!  Check out  Darrellwahlstrom Google+ also.

Says Who

Good afternoon.  Here is a new 11 x 14 watercolor on 140lb watercolor
paper.  I love to design the watercolor and place the color in its respectable
place.  When the paint is applied with water the fun with lines are tremendous.  I have a great amount of dedication for this element of art!
It takes your mind, feelings, ideas and places them on the page as you see it.
I love abstract work!!  Hope you do too.

Three Strikes

Good hot and muggy morning.  Sorry that it has been a while since I put in a new painting for my blog.
Time to get back at it and hope you missed me putting in my work.  Anyway here is a new 11 x 14 watercolor on 140 lb paper.  I used a scraper to load several colors of watercolor.  I then decided in which way I was to "scrape" the watercolor to form the design that my inner thoughts were providing.  I am a "line" guy.  I like to always put in my lines and scrapes.
Hope you enjoy this.  Tell your art friends to take a peek.

No Title Yet

Good afternoon.  This is my newer 11 x 14 watercolor on 140 watercolor paper.  I do not have a title yet.  Sorry.  Thought I would get this out to you guys to view.  Thanks for taking a peek at my blog and Google+.

Roller Coaster

Good afternoon.  Here is a newer 11 x 14 watercolor on 140lb paper.  I used browns mixed with reds.  I love placing purples and blues together.  I also mixed some yellow and blues to make green.  I hope you enjoy this painting and share this with your friends and family.  Read my bio.

Sublime

Good breezy afternoon!  Holy smokes!  Really cold, ready for rain and windy!  No wonder I find peace in my studio with great music and ability to paint an abstract.  This is a 16 x 20 on 200lb paper.  This took me a couple of days to come up with the idea and place the certain blues and yellows in the certain spots.  Hope you enjoy this.  Let me know.  Check out my bio.

Color Installed

Welcome to my blog.  Here is my new 16 x 20 watercolor with a 2 1/2 white mat.  I really enjoyed placing quite a few lines in several directions on this painting.  It can really bring interesting proportions of color in different sections.  A white mat really brings these colors out.  Thanks for looking.

Elevation

Good afternoon all you painters and observers.  This new painting of mine in watercolor on 140lb paper is a 16 x 20 with a 2 1/2 white mat.  I had this painting going for several days on another sheet of paper in watercolor pencil to see what colors of watercolor would work good together or separately.  I hope you enjoy this.  Check out my blog or Google+  

Round About

Here is my newest 16 x 20 watercolor painting.  It is called 'Round About".
I took several sketches of this painting and tried several different colors on a scratch piece of paper.  After several applications I chose these colors to attain the making of delivery and attachment of the colors chosen.  Hope you enjoy.  Let me know.

Pledge Of Color

Afternoon on this windy but very warm but ready for hail storms day.  This is my new 16 x 20 watercolor on 140lb paper.  I used many of the blues, reds, yellows and purples mixing them together as much as I could.  Such a fascinating treatment of the hues, combining colors.  Sometimes your new color can come out looking like "mud" as they say.   Been there done that.
Please enjoy this painting and look up the great galleries that I am in at my bio and support them by purchasing one of my paintings there.  Thanks.

Step A Side

Afternoon all you kind hearted blog viewers.  This is my new 16 x 20
watercolor on 140lb paper.  I really have an interest of orange and yellow
watercolor.  Doing my notecards daily using these two colors have inspired me to create more larger paintings with the same idea.  I really like the striking colors that can be obtained with those and blues and purples.  Hope
you enjoy.  Let me know

Sweet Spot

Good afternoon.  I am happy about this 16 x20 watercolor.  I spent several days on this deciding the structure of the lines and colors to intermix and display.  Hope you like this.  Let me know.  Look me up on Google+ too.
Check out the three galleries I am in by reading my bio. Go shopping for my work at these great galleries!  Support the Arts!!!!

Magnetic

Good afternoon.  This is my newer 11 x 14 watercolor on 200lb paper.  I named this "Magnetic" as I felt that the colors were very attachable to your eyes.  That the sequence of lines and colors brought you to the inner and outer surroundings of the painting.  Hope you like it.  Tell your friends to take a peek at my blog.  Thanks for looking and see you back soon!

Secret World

Welcome to my new 16 x 20 watercolor on 200lb paper.  I called this "Secret World".  I heard some words on the radio and kind of translated those into what I was trying to paint.  Hope you like it. Tell your friends of my blog.  I really love to use the orange, purple, and yellows that I instigated into the development of this watercolor. 

Monday Approach

Good Morning.  Hey its spring here and still in the 20's.  Come on spring!!
I named this 16 x 20 watercolor on 140lb paper "Monday Approach" as it was finished today.  A Monday.  I started this several days ago by selecting my watercolors to interact and mingle together.  Tell me what you think.

Another Time

Good afternoon kind blog viewers.  This 16 x 20 watercolor is named "Another Time" as I was painting at a different time of the day and this was inspired by a great jazz guitar player Brian Hughes.  I was listening to his Fast Train To A  Quiet Place cd and these colors came to me to join in several senses of color togetherness, lines, and distinct values of positions.
Hope that you enjoy this painting.  Let your friends know about my blog.
Thanks. Read my bio for where my original art is for sale.

Good Day

Hello----Well it is 50 some degrees today with the snow melting.  I have this great 11 x 14 watercolor on 200lb paper.  I just had to name it "Good Day".
I used a lot of yellow's and orange.  I have been trying to cut down on red as I do use that color a lot.  But I love the color red and it is close to reach in my studio. How do you enjoy this particular painting.  Does it excite you, calm you, or make you wonder?.  Now be nice if you respond.  Hope you like the painting and always stop back and tell your friends about my blog.

Open Road

I am very happy that I can share this new 11 x 14 watercolor with you  today.  I really have good luck with Blick , l'Aquarelle by Sennelier, and Lukas watercolors.  I haven't found one particular brand as these three really work very well and make me guess at what color from what brand will work better with the painting that I am composing.  I really like my 200 lb watercolor paper.  I like the ability to compose without worrying about the paper getting out of control.  Hope you like this original painting.

Little Tricky

Good afternoon.  It still is so very cold outside but at least the sun is warming up and staying out later.
This is my new 11 x 14 watercolor on 200lb paper.  It is in a 2" white mat.
The title is "Little Tricky".
Please join my blog or leave me a comment.  Hope that you like it.  Let Campbell Steele Gallery in Marion, Ia, or the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art Store in Cedar Rapids Ia, or Catiris Gallery in Amana, Ia know how much you enjoy my work.  Purchase one of my original paintings.  Stop back later this week.  Thanks for viewing.
 

Solo

Good afternoon to all of you great folks viewing my blog.  I am very happy to be able to take the color of paint to a great piece of 140lb watercolor paper, listen to the great jazz station www.kcck.org and take the music and my inner thoughts and disperse them unto this space.  I hope you enjoy this 11 x 14 original.  Check out one of the galleries that I am in.
Read my bio.  Take care.

Circular

Thanks for viewing my watercolor painting today.   So please enjoy this work of art.  You will notice a small line of paper on the left side.  That is where the tape goes to hold this 11 x 14 work in its designated spot.  So please put that aside.  Hope that you enjoy this piece.  Let me know.  Check out my Google+ also.
