Deep Blue

Deep Blue is a sea turtle painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors. I used blues, greens, and violets instead of the real colors of brown, greens, and grays. As a North Carolina native, I catch a glimpse of them every great once in a while in the ocean. I am always surprised by how big they are!

Apache

Crowing and strutting around the place, this rooster seemed to demand my attention. He lives at a roadside attraction called Fort Apache in Supply, NC. Words are hard to find that would describe this unique place. The owner, Dale Varnam, is the kindest person you could meet. Even Mike and Frank of the tv show "American Pickers" had to check it out for themselves!

Original painting is done with Georgian Water Mixable Oils. The painting is 9 X 12 on Canson art board.
