I was happy to discover today that one of my 3 floral 8×10 acrylics at The Old Bakery & Emporium had sold! 🙏 😊

July 10, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Flowering at Dawn” : circa 2020
One of my earliest and favorite of my 6×6 inch gallery wrap blocks of watercolor on Golden’s Absorbent Ground! Flowering at Dawn is still a mystery to me….

May 23, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Walk Among the Wildflowers” #Watercolor #panorama
Painted in 2020 right at the 2 year mark ( A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020 ), this small panoramic watercolor has returned for another most viewed week; it’s previous most viewed week about a year ago! There must be an anniversary-thing involved in all this, lol!

April 16, 2022 – New & Re-Stock Prints at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
While the signed print is an impressive 12×18 ( $22 ), the 6×9 original ( $99 ) on 300 lb paper is a sparkle beyond imagination I’m very blessed to have created 🙏

January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital. It’s a super playful acrylic I didn’t realize would be “so much” a landscape as it turned out, lol! All part of the “discovery” process inside each artist, often call the landscape inside, probably in…

January 04, 2022 – Pondering the Past and Present of My Art – 2 Landscapes 17 Years Apart
Besides being 17 years apart, there’s a lot both separating the two yet joining them both. I’ll admit, the 2004 oil is far more developed than it’s younger brother from this year, lol! But, it did take me 4 years of effort to get to the point of painting an oil at that level. It’s…

December 19, 2021 – 3 Videos of New Acrylic Work, Assorted Sizes and Colors – #Abstracts, #FigureArt, #Florals
An important post with lots of new images, mostly all completed or near finished. I haven’t had time to format and upload all these images, but am working on developing an image page of my available art work. I’ve a lot I’ve been figuring out, and should have a preliminary post on the project fairly…

October 21, 2021 – Delivering New Art to the Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas – 3 Piece Floral Set and 1 Autumn 6×6, all #Watercolors
Despite my many gripes about living in Austin, Texas, there’s of course a handful of things I do like. Among them is the opportunity the city makes for artisans 50 or older living in the Austin area to show their creative work. I’ve been fortunate to have some sales, and am very grateful to be…

October 01, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – 4th Rendition; Lessons on the Evolution of This Painting Study
Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 turned out to belie itself in one important regard – it shoulda been a larger canvas work. Where it did shine, for me, creatively, is the dazzling combination of styles I managed to squeeze out of me and onto paper to try and get the expression I wanted for…

September 29, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – 3rd Rendition; Wanna Finish, But Can’t, Not Yet….
My 3rd rendition of Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 has veered away from me like a giddy 2 year old confident mommy or daddy is nearby and can go explore the world with a glee and squeal – then tripped on a pebble the size of a finger tip, crashed to the ground, and…

September 28, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper – Removed Masking Fluid, Debating if Finished
Though my 2nd rendition – masking fluid removed from the sunflower and it’s surrounding abstract color space – is much more to my liking, it’s also obvious to me – as per the comparison images below, that I could have done more. Should have applied much more masking fluid…I’d gotten too timid I think, after…

September 27, 2021 – Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in Over Masking Fluid
A 9×12 on 140lb x watercolor paper, like my previous (and 1st study subject) – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1 (1st rendition), Sunflower in Dappled Light Study 1 also seems quite lacking in dapple-ness, lol! (see comparison images below)

April 15, 2021 – Abstract Detail 2 Faith in a Safe Return, My Newest #DigitalArt Upload @FineArtAmerica
“Though not a detail abstract, where the originating image is otherwise unknown, this is a tight cropping round the female figure in the original small 5×7 watercolor on canvas panel”

April 03, 2021 – Abstract Detail 1 Sun Spot Flower, My Newest #DigitalArt Upload @FineArtAmerica
It’s more like an accidental find. That’s ok of course, lol! But I sure can’t claim other than creating something with a “find” within it – and that’s ok too 😊

April 02, 2021 – Sun Spot Flower, My Newest #Watercolor Upload @FineArtAmerica
Sun Spot Flower..I finished it in one sitting early last week, unsure of myself about, propped it up near the dining table by a lamp, and watched myself watch over it til I decided, yeah, I like it the way it is 😊

January 28, 2021 – Yesterday’s Horizontal Art Mess Looks a Lot Better Vertical, Even if Still Not Good Enough
“I’ve been experimenting how to print some of my original pen and ink line drawings onto paper and then paint on them. I was clearly not happy with my 1st painting effort on laser paper yesterday, and then, right before bed, I took another look at the piece, laid it casually down with a sigh,…

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – The Earth is a Garden: My Most Viewed Image this Week @FineArtAmerica June 2020
I’ve been uploading my paintings since starting watercoloring (late Dec ‘19) recently by completed progression, with The Earth is a Garden one of the more recent. It’s a very pleasant surprise seeing it garnish this much attention vs some of the others I thought my be stronger received. One really never knows, which is just…

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – A New Series, Serial Series’
Am I a Serial Serialist, lol? 😊 Since “way” back, I’ve tried to create a series I can stick with, and obviously, didn’t. The topic would run out of juice. Or more accurately, I would. It was time for me to switch gears to another creative avenue, the way I switch art styles to stay…

Adan’s eBay Art – Yellow Blooms Coral Accent, My Most Viewed Image @FineArtAmerica Last Week 😊
“I had to both decide to accept I liked what I’d created despite nagging voices within me saying it wasn’t good enough — and — stop myself from ‘over creating’ and ruining the work!”
