Work in progress on “Summer Splash”. This is going to be fun, and a bit challenging as I have never painted water in this volume before. To do this I used masking fluid to block out the water from the hose, also something I have never used in volume before. Stay tuned……

A new drawing continuing the concept of year-long project using the changing seasons as a vehicle and as a unifying theme. The first thought that comes into my mind when thinking of summer is kids playing in the water. I will re-visit “Summer” in another image I’m sure, but I couldn’t resist this one.

Here is the finished painting finally! I have left this one be for a while, but I am really glad that I came back to it to finish it. The idea for this one is the concept in some spiritual traditions of Immanence of Deity. The idea being “…Deity exists in everything, and as everything. Nothing is outside of or away from the Divine; everything is sacred.” -Diane Sylvan, from “The Circle Within” So since we are a part of this universe, Divinity is also in us as well. I wanted to show the light of that spark of Divinity coming through.

There I am! At the reception for the Philadelphia Watercolor Society’s 112th Anniversary International Exhibition of Works on Paper, back in November. My painting “Winter” was in the show. There were some really beautiful pieces in the show, and I was really proud to have my work shown in their company. My focus this year is getting paintings together for a solo show next January at the NAA here in Newark. Details to follow soon…

This project is slow going, but at least it’s still going. Here is the second attempt at the painting described in the last post.

Part 2 of the last Winter drawing. The idea is to show the images somewhat superimposed with each other,…the reference photo was taken outside the window with the trees as a reflection. The effect is quite dramatic,….hopefully the idea translates as well in watercolor.

Progress on one of the “winter” pieces. Not sure if it’s coming together the way I thought. I’m not going to completely abandon the concept,…just leaving it and walking away for now………

The first winter piece in the year long project. This one is the second version, actually. There was a small accident with the first attempt, something feel off the shelf over my work table and marked the painting in a few places. Blessing in disguise, really. I like this version better. Let’s hope I don’t have to do that with each piece though, or this project will never get done!
