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.

Mock Orange

Hard to resist painting flowers. Crazy about color and they have it. This is a watercolor using MaimeriBlu paints on Yupo paper. The watercolors are especially bright because they do not sink into the paper. Yupo is a strange bird to work with, but I am fascinated with the color and texture.

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!
