A Far View - #44 - Original Watercolor Painting

This painting is based on Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota, on the shore of Lake Superior. The cliff represents the actual setting, but I've transformed the lighthouse itself into a more interesting building than the actual one..

Mega Barn - #41 - Original Watercolor Painting

Plein Air Paradise - #37 - Original Watercolor Painting




A recent vacation trip in France along the Seine river ended in Honfleur, a beautiful seacoast town in Normandy. While walking around the harbor there, I happened upon a group of plein air watercolor painters, led by artist Timothy J. Clark, from whom I had recently taken a workshop. So after saying hello, I took a photo of him at his easel, and recently painted this from that photo.

Peggy's Cove - #36 - Original Watercolor Painting

No Hurry - #35 - Original Watercolor Painting



This is a plein air painting done at Owl's Head harbor in Maine, near Rockland.  This is a beautiful area, like much of the Maine coast.  It began as a study of a rock formation there, and later in my studio I added the fisherman to provide more interest.

Sailboats - #32, 33, & 34 - Original Watercolor Paintings




I've been away most of August, so here are three "catch-up" paintings. I love to paint sailboats, because of the beautiful shape of their hulls, and the gorgeous reflections that they often cast onto the water. These three paintings comprise a series based on similar drawings but with different color and background treatments.

Lazy Afternoon - #31 - Original Watercolor Painting

I like to design and paint vignettes. They have a fresh, loose feel, as though the painting isn't quite finished. This painting has a lazy, summer feel to it, and may be especially appealing to "barn lovers" like me.

By the Harbor - #29 - Original Watercolor Painting

This is my second painting of the harbor at Honfleur, Normandy, France. This is a closer look at a few of the boats in the harbor. Many people enjoy strolling around the harbor, sitting in the harborside cafes, and looking in the shops nearby. Honfleur is a delightful little city.

Prague Impressions - #28 - Original Watercolor Painting

This is the second weekly watercolor I've done of St. Nicholas church that stands on the hill above downtown Prague; the first has been purchased.
