watercolor paintings bring great enjoyment
light and colorful impressions
spontaneity demanding decisiveness with precision and accuracy
accidents and errors accepted as opportunities for inventiveness
scenes painted from life
vital for understanding and capture of the effects
of light color space and texture
simple equipment makes this a good medium for location painting
about half of the included works were completed on site
the rest from photos of real scenes in my own or from the personal experiences of others
tourist paintings
painted by one and often appreciated by others
painting on location means encountering new people and interacting with the environment
these experiences are imbedded within the work
my home and studio are in seattle and the northwest is a major source of inspiration
other scenes originate in the midwest southwest and mexico
