Just something to note if you are new to my blog and that is fairly obvious because this is a new thing for me!  The prints on the available print section of my home page are photographed and printed by an excellent pair of printer/artists who live and work in Oregon City.  I have found that their quality is superb and extremely true to the original.   Their business name is "Sweet Pixels".  If you are in the market for giclee prints as an artist, I  highly recommend Wendy and Rick Givens and that is coming form someone who is very exacting with my color reproduction.  [sweet-pixels.com]

More art work coming shortly.....

New Painting ...

This is my latest painting which revolved around creating the illusion of "white" with watercolor.  Light washes of violets and grays plus a little warmth with brown all hint at white .  The image photographed a little more purple than the reality of the piece but the limited palette is still fairly obvious. ( For example the window panes are actually just white paper.) I am still struggling with getting too tight in my approach and even so there are a few areas that reminded me of where I want to go with my painting.  Thanks for checking this out!
