Old Red

When I walk on the beach, I am usually picking up shells. Walking in the mountains, I usually pick up rocks and leaves. Old Red had seen better days, but it was just beautiful against the twigs and  older leaves of fall. This is a 5.5 x 7 painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors on YUPO paper.

Hanging On

I sometimes wake up in the morning with a painting on my mind. This particular morning I woke up with its title on my mind. Soon I was thinking about what it would look like. I already knew I was giving it to a friend. On a recent trip to the mountains of North Carolina, I encountered the thickest fog. The trees looked other worldly, and its leaves were all but gone. It is not a familiar site for me and I could hardly look at it enough. The title of the painting prompted me to leave one leaf hanging on. The painting medium is FW Acrylic Inks on Heritage watercolor paper.
