Wild series
These images are from my new "Wild" series. Drawing with ink using the dropper right out of the Higgins India ink bottle has been a freeing experience. Some splatter and rich watercolor pigment makes for bold images.

New Work!
Had a wonderful crowd at the Full Moon Gallery opening last night! It was good to see old friends and new. Thanks for being there and wishing the artists well!
This watercolor piece, that is part of my "Wild" series, is hanging at the Twin Falls Center for the Arts in the lobby gallery. I call it my "wild series" since I am using a new technique to add more flow and rhythm to my work and it gets a bit wild with ink going where it wants and dripping as I refill! I use an India ink dropper to do the drawing and add dense watercolor to get the deep colors. Drawing with a dropper does not let me get the tight drawings that I usually do and it loosens up the flowers. I think gives them some movement and life. More of this series to come in the future!

I'm back! Been a long time since I posted!
Gallery Opening at the Twin Falls Center for the Arts on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 5-7p.m.
Come and see my new watercolor paintings in the Full Moon Gallery.
This sunflower piece is on display along with my other new ink and watercolor pieces. The painting is large, 22"x30" watercolor paper and even bigger with mat and frame. It is part of my "WILD" series. Time to break out of old habits and try something new. I am using India ink to do the drawing with wide sweeps and splotches, and adding watercolor to the piece. Great fun!
