A zen kind of day. Contentedness…. in the calm. There is a lovely balance found here; out in this soft delicacy and peacefulness. Its not too quiet, no. I don’t think so. Not at all. I Steal Time. I sneak away. To find hidden places within this city’s […]
Its a challenge, yes. But wouldn’t it be just a little bit boring without a challenge or two?! So far in my “Master Color” course we’ve been proceeding along in segments. It makes it easier. While I’m purposely creating this post for my Tuesday class, “MASTER COLOR” don’t let that stop you from joining in […]
Impressionist, with nearly all soft and loose edges…. just like the morning haze. So long ago. Forest Morning Haze This quick, loose watercolor study was painted from sheer memory. Done in under 10 minutes, there was no laboring or fussing about. Just expressing that time – keeping it simple. I no longer […]
The Pond, an acrylic on canvas. Definitely a painting that reflects the water theme you’ve been seeing me post so much about in recent weeks. Abstract Art I consider this painting approach “Abstract Expressionism.” It is the one that best describes the art style here. Below, is one of the many many, photos […]

Time was a definite factor in this Impressionist Seascape in Acrylics. Yesterday’s post, Sea Sensations inspired me and I really couldn’t forego art altogether. I decided regardless of time issues, I would paint Something! I didn’t get my oils out, nor that massive roll of lovely linen canvas. However, I did take a quick 10 minutes to […]
The Sea. She keeps replaying in my mind. On a loop. The Sea sensations. The textures, the sounds, the feel, the colors. The mood. I guess, its a thing. I’m artistically enamoured, if you will. It began with a little mini holiday. To the Sea. My camera and the 1000 shots […]
Birds of Paradise in my Garden. I caught this just after a short burst of rain during the night. Those morning rain droplets playing upon the stem, were simply irresistible. Bird of Paradise in the Garden Strelitzia also known as …. Bird of Paradise. And reminds me just a little of our recent […]
The Golden Pheasant at Perth zoo was bold. Brazenly showing off and walking right up into the cameras. Obviously, he loved the paparazzi. Colors in The Bird Indian Yellow. Cobalt Teal Blue. Indanthrone Blue. Scarlet Red. Black. Ginger Color As we walked just out of his enclosure, I saw the ginger. With […]
