New paintings and sketches

 I am behind again so I am going to make one post ...with the new work. The people were painted with gouache.

New experiment

I have been experimenting  painting flowers, and i have been adding a lot of different things to them.
I don't consider myself a flower painter so I added paper and gouache to see what it would look like.
It has been fun. I have done several.
I have posted these on 'DailyPaintworks' for Sale .
Here is the address to my art.

NMWS-Shear Madness

I found out this week that I got into the NMWS (New Mexico Watercolor Society) member show.
I was surprised at the painting that the juror, Donna Zagotta chose. It was a mess. I poured it, and it was dark and drab, so I used gouache to try to brighten it up.
I loved this building in Snyder, TX. I had to laugh when i saw all the electrical work. That's why I got a picture of it.

Shear Madness

We were coming through Snyder Texas and I shot a photo of this old building through the window. When I saw all the electrical lines and boxes, I had to laugh to myself! It was so funny looking.
I sketched it and liked the way the sketch looked so i drew it off on 1/2 sheet of watercolor paper.
I used the pouring technique, but wasn't happy with it.  It was so dark, drab and muddy, so I got out my gouache and started painting, to brighten it up.  I like it now. At least it has some color to it.

New Chaps

This is a couple of years old, but fits in with what I am doing right now.  I took this photo at the cowboy symposium in Lubbock, TX.  The cowboy was showing tricks, working cattle, etc.
