Took a Break, With Teeth

 First things first.  Here is a little (5x7 vert) drawing I just did of a sign on an old building.  Not a barn but you know, related.  Made out of week, seen its best days and has character.


Now about my break from posting (with teeth).  It's all do (mostly) because my wife (Bobbie) got her new puppy and it has teeth.  Sleeps most of the time, but when not, watch out.  Need to watch "Pipper" as she is interesting in chewing anything and everything.  Lot's O toys and one eye on where she is and what she is chewing.  Always chewing.  Chewing Chewing Chewing.

Our other dog (Barney) is very good with her and lets her beat him some something awful.  This helps a lot but man the chewing....

Needing to get back to fishing, I mean drawing and painting but these warmer days makes it a wee bit hard to stay indoors.  Between hiking, dogs, fishing and art work, there is not a whole lot of other things to do.

You can also see that I've been doing some artwork in a vertical format.  Some nice compositions there.

Enjoy.

Still Life

 Life is never still, at least I don't think you would want it to be.  That's why so many of us (i.e., retired care free people) travel.  Keep seeing new things and places.   Well the Hurricane so far inland was a new thing and one I would have rather forgone but life is what happens.  Life keeps moving. Except a still life is forever and captures a slice of time frozen in a painting.  This is from a wooden bowl of pears onboard our ship during dinner one nice.  Again, just thought it looked nice. Enjoy.

A Trip Abroad

 Just back from our trip abroad as Asheville continues to recover from the hurricane.  This trip has been planned for a long time and we almost didn't make it because our dog sitting business will be closed for a while. But make it we did and now we are back. We love Amsterdam.  What a fun place to visit.  So many things to too and do there.  The weather was not the best but it did not have an impact on our visit.  Just bundle up. Got some quick painting in while on the boat (i.e., Viking) as we moved from port to port.  This painting is of a garden at a heritage site of windmills.  I thought it looked nice. Nice time on the trip to de-stress from what was happing back home.  We were fine back home but not everything is well with many others.

So THIS is My Style?

 If I play around long enough my style will appear.  I'm guessing that this is kind of it.  I'll keep working on other techniques in watercolor but for now this appears to be my style. I do like it and others appear (to my face) to also like this.  Not every one of my paintings is a success.  About 1/3 so far, but when they do I am rather pleased that anything good comes out of it at all. I do love color.  Color is happy and outdoors is full of color, be it the west or back east with the greens.  Color color color. Also doing some painting on hot press paper and see how that goes. Later......
