An ongoing exploration of my current paintings and experiments.

Rocks and Arbutus, Arylic 24 by 18 inches SOLD
This painting was a challenge for me. At the end of the first day of work I was ready to throw in the towel. But I persevered and I quite like the results.
Turkey was a fabulous country with inspiring architecture, and no buildings were more awesome than this one, built at the height of Byzantine power. I don't usually do paintings with such involved architectural drawings, but based on this one, I think I'll do more.
Because I am a bit of a masochist I have set a challenge for myself.. To paint two small (6 by 9 inch) watercolors per day in addition to anything else I will create. I want to continue this for at least a month. The goal of this experiment is to force me to treat my traditional subjects with new eyes and to push me to explore other ideas and subjects. Here are two of my first attempts. The idea of one summer and one fall painting came from Jack.
