windy 'toons

This is another piece with a similar feel as the art below.  This one has a cartoony personality.  It's another piece inspired by the flowing sound of music.

5 x7".  Watercolor and color pencil on watercolor paper.

Light and Dark

I love making these kinds of organic, free flowing, abstract art pieces.  It's quite soothing and gratifying to create.  The biggest challenge is feeling the line between 'not being enough' and 'what is too much'.

This is only 3 x 5".  MiniArt.  Watercolor, color pencil, and ink (Faber-Castel PITT Artist pens) on smooth Strathmore bristol board.

harvest

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

This part of the world has a lush abundance of mushrooms, mosses and fungi.  When the ground is wet with rain, I take photos of their showy appearances.  This is a purple cort mushroom I found in the dappled sunlight of the woods. And yes,  it is indeed poisonous.

world without end

Back in early September, my adopted mother passed away.  This was the art I created just before, during and just after she died.  It is an image of moving into the next realm, which flows seamlessly through time and space.  Always spinning along in a unique, personal journey.  I was so entranced in this world that I could not stop until it was finished.  Some intense emotions they were.

wood smoke

A campfire's crackle, pop, hiss.  Can you smell the bacon?

watercolor, acrylic, color pencil and ink.  11"x5"

Main Street

This time of year, recreational boating season is finished.  Here in Buzzards Bay, there have been plenty of boats going up and down Main Street, heading to their winter storage places.  As a boating enthusiast, it's always interesting to watch them parading around town.

in the woods

A dusting of snow last week.  Ball point pen.
