Paintings from Spain


The paintings I did on my trip to Spain are all 4 x 6. The one on the top was a view behind the resort where we stayed. I titled it "Alcossebre Villa." It is a more local view of the landscape with the terra cotta roof and the olive trees. The painting on the bottom I titled "Oceanfront Alcossebre." There are various sections of beach. This was done near the actual town of Alcossebre. The ocean promanade has many cafes and restaurants where you can sit and watch the Mediterranean.

Golden Dunes


This is a 4 x 6 watercolor painted at the beach. I was attracted to all the yellow flowers blooming now that fall has arrived. It gave the dunes a somewhat different look.

Fit For Sailing



This is a 7 x 10 ink & watercolor done at a marina near me. I don't paint too many boats because I never feel comfortable drawing them. I have no background in boats and usually can't figure out what the parts are. So I'm going to try to get close to a few and see what happens.

Market Fresh



4 x 6 ink & watercolor done in plein air at a farmstand on the east end of Long Island. I was sitting with the pumpkins in their display while I was painting. When I got up they replaced me with a giant pumpkin.
