DAFFY DAFFODILS


 Here is another way to get around the problem of either colors running together or having a thin line between them with water colors - simply leave space between colors.  Of course the white has to make some kind of aesthetic sense.  Here I think it is fine as it adds to the Daffodil cheeriness.

The Den

 This is a water color of the den we used to have.  One thing about painting your environment as opposed to an abstraction is that there are memories, associations and unconscious reverberations that simply do not exist when viewing an abstraction. On the other hand you can project whatever you want onto an abstraction.

ONE TULIP

 On this rainy day in March when we who live in this area are at the end of our patience with winter, it is the imagined joy of spring that keeps us going.  I hope this image of one tulip helps you hang in there a bit longer.  It works for me.

Juicy Pears

 Here is an example of two different ways of painting the same pears.  The first with really wet paper and the second done as the paper is drying.

Lower East Side


 There is something romantic about certain architecture. Whenever I am in New York on the lower east side I wonder what it would be like to live there. This week I will be revisiting that feeling with water colors.
