LIFE AND ART

FOUND STUFF

Going through piles of things in my studio as kind of a fall cleaning and found a few older pieces that I had forgotten about. A koi monoprint and a reduction woodblock print of my wife Teri.

PAINTING MATERIAL

I have been in New England the last seven days enjoying the really super fall colors this year. We have gone a number of times but this year seemed really spectacular. Should have enough painting subjects to last me a while.

PICTURE PERFECT

My nephew has set up a website to display his fantastic photography. Living in Marin County gives him some beautiful subject matter.

NICHOLAS SIMMONS

A friend told me about an artist named Nicholas Simmons who does fantastic water medium paintings. He is called "The Bad Boy of Watercolor" and when you see his unconventional and innovative art you can understand why.

TERI AGAIN

Quite a while ago I had done a linocut of my wife Teri. It was not a great success. She, along with anyone who looked at it didn't see a resemblance. This last week I did a mixed media (Acrylic, pastels and acrylic inks) of her with better results. SHE LIKES IT!

MISTAKES

ANNIVERSARY

Forty three years of marriage today. I guess we might be serious about this.

MIXED MEDIA

A friend sent me a link (below) to a Youtube video that I really enjoyed. Kathy Arbour creates a mixed media painting that had me thinking "not very good" when she starts, then had me saying "wow" at the finish.

CHRIS FORSEY

One of my favorite artist, Chris Forsey, has some new art on his blog site. His paintings are so loose and flowing. The way I wish I could paint!

MORE SCRATCH BOARD STUFF

SCRATCH ART

As I was cleaning up my studio and sorting through my apple crate of old art, I found some of the scratch board things I have done through the years. Forgot how much fun this technique is.

STAND OUT

ON THE LAKE
