Water Tower Town

I have looked for our town's water tower in lights every year. Why in the world did it not occur to me to paint it before now? A long time friend generously sent me pictures of the tower in lights. His father was a Goldsboro policeman and as a child, he occasionly was allowed to turn on the Christmas lights. 

Marsh and Sky

You are not suppose to stop on top of the bridge! If no one is coming you can go real slooooow and take a picture. Sometimes after a rainy day you can catch the most inspiring sunset over the bridge to Oak Island, NC. Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.

Summer Breeze

There is nothing like a summer breeze, sound of gulls and waves on a hot summer day in North Carolina. Its my happy place! How do you like a white umbrella with plenty of color? This painting was done with the FW inks from Daler Rowney. It and others will be on display at the Flying Pig for the months of May and June at Oak Island, NC.

Yupo Tulip

Yupo Tulip

Slick, slick, slick! Slick as glass. That is Yupo. Its 100% polypropylene or simply put, plastic paper. This was painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors that stay so vibrant on the YUPO paper. I love the bright colors and the way they form beautiful organic shapes on the Yupo paper. Just plain fun to paint on Yupo!

catching the wind

Spotted this catamaran moored on South Padre Island, Texas. It was well-worn with many colorful patches, but still a beauty catching the suns rays. Some subjects are a perfect fit for watercolor. Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.
