Savannahs

In our area there is a large tract of land set aside as a permanent preserve. It is called the Savannahs, probably because it resembles the 'rivers of grass' in other parts of the world like the Everglades or the Serengetti. These are unspoiled gems of nature and remain as they were from the beginning. There is such a feeling of peace pervading the atmosphere. It is restorative just to visit, observe and do nothing else. I hope this painting provides the same feeling.

Secret Garden

My neice Sharon took a beautiful photograph of a rustic table and chairs in a garden in California. There was a stong suggestion of seclusion and intimacy in the setting. It was my decision to add the stone wall to my compostion. This definitely gives an enclosed feeling to this watercolor. I wanted to give it the feeling of accessibility also so I 'broke' the stone wall a bit to accomplish this. A perfect spot for a meal al fresco accompanied by a glass of wine!

Floral Imagery

This was an exercise in laying down colors after thoroughly wetting the paper. That's the fun part....trying to do something with the results is mind-stretching. After a bit I saw the possibility of fashioning flowers and created the soft-focus painting above. Some people love this kind of loose blurred effect while others prefer something more structured.
