My Latest House Portrait

     I just finished and delivered my latest pen and ink house portrait.  The homeowner will have it copied and have stationery made.  Then he will return it to me so I can add watercolor...

     This was one of the most challenging houses I've ever done.  The two trees in front of the house were many times larger than they are here.  So I had to photograph the front door and the two story portion from far to the right, "rebuild" it on paper and make the trees move aside a bit.  Fortunately, the homeowner is very happy with the results!

In the Studio

     Last week, I had an invitation from ArtisTree Gallery in South Pomfret to be a part of a trio watercolor exhibit next spring.  The other two artists are Paula Cloudpainter and Margaret Dwyer and I am thrilled to be a part of this exhibit!  Since it is a trio show, each artist will have one gallery room.   
     So, I've been in the studio.  What a blessing it is to have something important to do during this "shelter at home" time.  

Here are my first three finished watercolors...

"Stormy Skies, Seabrook Island"

watercolor - 10" x 10'

"October 17th, Seabrook Island"

watercolor - 10" x 10"

"June 19th, South Woodstock"

watercolor - 10" x 10"

It may be that there is a little tweaking to do - stay tuned for updates!
