Oldies but Goodies

Blog hopping around, I was inspired by some folks to look through the art files.
This is a watercolor from sometime ago.('85') The old happy shack.

Below is another, I called Forest Snow.



This is a pen and ink called getting some bites...
I hope to do some winter painting, now that I have take it easle, Stapleton Kearns model. I feel like the coolest painter on the block! Thanks for looking!

Neat art, Bill! Keep doing the trip with Stape's monster easel; I'm trying to fit in more time painting too. Gosh, 1985! I had my first baby that year- my earliest painting is dated 2007. I'd better get to work!

Looking through Blogs can be very inspiring and enthusiastic . Your watercolors are just as beautiful as your oil paintings..did you start out with watercolors, and then converted to oil ? I know a lot of painters who started out the other way round.

Judy! This take it easle is just what I needed!
It sets up, and takes down with ease! I no longer look like the three stooges setting up to paint!
I have art that goes way back. Fred Flintstone and I were neighbors!(ha)

Hi Jane! Thanks! I started painting with watercolors long before oils. I have a tendency to work oils in the same manner,(somewhat) but am learning to get that brush stroke look down a bit better!

Thank You Martine! I try to take care in what I paint, as you do!:)

Heather! Thanks! Yes, that's me up at lake Kabatogama, Moxie island! Everything was biting that day, expesailly the misquetos!

Your work is really fantastic! This particular one with the racoons reminds me of Tasha Tudor, she was a wonderful artist. best to you!
