Hollyhocks

Bluebonnets & Indian Paintbrush

Some fun wet on wet paintings of flowers. They turned out really soft and seemed to capture the lushness of the flowers nicely.

Hibiscus Triptych

These 3 views of a close up hibiscus blossom were really fun to paint - top in pink, middle in grays, bottom in yellow.

Hibiscus Blossom

Succulent garden in Port A

We had a really fun camping trip in Port Aransas. Breezy, cool, clear water - lots of fun. Enjoyed some quick sketch painting during my time there.

Anney Rehm's Journaling Workshop

True Value Little Red Wagon

Anney had a wonderful workshop and we explored some new tools for painting, working on a small scale in little journals with fewer and more versatile tools so that it is easy to take your drawing and painting tools with you as you travel or just capture daily life around you. My favorite new tools are scrapbooking ink pens from Micheal's that diffuse when touched with a wet brush or sprayed with a fine mist. And water-soluble graphite pencils in light, medium and dark wash that add interesting grays, shadows, textures to paintings and drawings.
