I like to make things: art, music, theater, gardens, plans, and various messes. But I also enjoy doing absolutely nothing.
Just another watercolor landscape… This is an “orphan well”; an oil or gas well that has been abandoned at some point. There are an estimated 29 million worldwide and of thousands of them in the US. Uncapped they continue to release methane gas and oil pollution.

Saw this on an early morning walk this week so I painted it. I used to play down there when I was about 12, crawling through the tunnels… which was about 62 years ago😆

Another hot day and another fiery watercolor. Amazon basin deforestation as a result of “slash and burn” land clearing. This is a composite of several reference pictures.

Watercolor.Today and yesterday’s attempt to capture firelight (definitely not plein air😊).
Successful, I think.

Watercolor painting done three years ago. I was trying to capture the intensity of the light of a burning fire, but was not that happy with it. I’m about to try again with a different reference. This photo was from a Long Beach, CA fire report. #watercolorart #watercolourpainting #watercolor

From a class with Yong Hong Zhou a few years ago. I learned a lot and was able to move forward quickly. His photo provided the reference. I’ll try to post more of these. #watercolorart #watercolors #watercolor_gallery #watercolorsketch #watercolourart #watercolor
