Rock / 2013 version

Each year this rock becomes a rock star , and demands to be acknowledged for it's stunning color, composition and overall beauty, in paint. So I comply. This is the 2013 Yupo version. Painted one lovely spring afternoon from my front porch.

March

Every March, I paint the magnolias budding out on the young tree in my yard , and every year it's an amazing challenge. Such delicate beauty.

Oranges and Lemons

This watercolor is my version of a 17th century Flemish still life  by Justus van Huysum. I have been intrigued by this oil painting for a long time , and decided to try my version. In the original, the color has dimmed, probably due to the varnish , and there are no visible brushmarks . This, on the other hand, has strong color and the marks show, because of different pigments and process.
Fascinating !
