Hawaii Sunset

This is another sunset scene that I painted from photos I took on the Hawai trip. We were eating lobster at an ocean side restaurant when I took this. The colors just got brighter and brighter. There was a luau taking place just down in the foreground but I left all those people and dancers out. This is a 7x10 watercolor, matted out to an 11x14. Not for sale. It was a wonderful evening with good food, wonderful family and a beautiful view. Such fun!!

Hawaii Sunset #1 2009

I did this painting after taking a trip to Hawaii to observe my granddaughter getting married on the beach. I will give this to her as a wedding present. The sunsets there are so beautiful that one simply cannot duplicate it with paint or even photos. This one is not for sale of course. It is matted to 11x14.

Fly fisherman

Since I have not started painting yet (my recovery is slow) , just thought I would post an old painting. This is a watercolor about 14x18, matted to a 20x24. A friend has this one. I hope to start painting soon. The weather is getting nice out so I am getting the "bug" to do some plein air painting.

Snowman

This is just a small greeting card, about 6x8 which I did a series of. I haven't blogged anything for quite awhile because of having knee surgery and not being able to get to my basement studio. I am doing a lot of rehab, which has sort of consumed my life for the present. I just wanted to post my little snowman to tell all of you, "Happy New Year" and I hope to be back to painting before long. As an artist friend always says to other artist friends, "keep your brushes wet". I hope to soon.
