October 08, 2021 – Girl on Bicycle Study 1 v2, #Watercolor on Paper; Masking Fluid Removed, Minor Adjustments = Similar Yet Different Picture : Calling it Done!
I’m sensing a strong pattern right now in any of my work with masking fluid involved – ie, nice image with my paint overlay over the masking fluid, and a differing yet pleasing picture emerges. I continue to be concerned though, because I’m liking my painting overlays incrementally more each time.

October 05, 2021 – Girl on Bicycle Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in Over Masking Fluid
In contrast to my prev post – describing a disaster with an abstract study on paper 😯 – I hope to shorten this one quite a bit – taking wife to dr appt then groceries then returning home before Austin City Limits’ festival kicks off and we won’t have a place to park near our…

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)

September 22, 2021 – Walking in Dappled Light Study 1, #Watercolor on Paper; 1st Paint Lay-in with Masking Fluid
At 9×12 on 140lb x watercolor paper, I was able to use my brushes fairly effectively where I wanted them, and applied some Turner masking fluid (with a thin palette knife) “fairly” easy. And yes, some foot proportions are off a bit, lol, and her back blouse almost looks like it’s the front, but all…

September 07, 2021 – “Figures in a Landscape Study” – I’m Calling it Done! (but I know it’s not)
About two weeks ago, I posted, “Tiptoeing Back Into Art with Prep For Potential Watercolor, Mother and Child” – about a new watercolor on paper I’m now calling, “Figures in a Landscape Study” – and I’m calling it done! Finished! Outta my sight! 😊 But, as per this post, I know, I know – deep…

August 24, 2021 – My Newest #Vermont Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Bingham Falls Smugglers Notch State Park
If my above Vermont poster has something distinctly in common with my concurrent Austin Barton Springs Greenbelt poster series, it’s the sheer sparkle of abundance nature! That Austin even has something smaller yet comparable within its city limits is a miracle, lol! There’s no denying the intensity-level shift when dealing with things Vermont

August 22, 2021 – Starting the Day with Dappled Light and Love
There was gonna be no pretense about the heat here in Austin today, not to mention the Covid resurge rivaling and in places surpassing the worth of the nearly two years of pandemic. But Sheila and Max and I set out before breakfast this morning, before the sun had shrank away the surprise morning clouds,…

August 21, 2021 – Tiptoeing Back Into Art with Prep For Potential Watercolor, Mother and Child
I’ve a relatively short post today, mainly to show the culmination of some preliminary prep steps toward a new watercolor on paper, Mother and Child. Much can be made of course of my mom’s very recent passing and the effect that has had on the development of this image, and of course the title -…

August 17, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Morning Light in Barton Springs Greenbelt, Austin Texas Poster
It’s so strange yet so true of Austin’s Barton Creek Greenbelt (and Violet Crown Trail) that it is rich in nuance of nature & light. The morning I captured my image above is the same morning, simply by twisting back and to my left, the image of a young lady (Payton) leaping off a small…

August 01, 2021 – Some Interruptions in Life are Blessings
Just back from an incredible trip to the Galapagos west of Ecuador, wife & I got the opportunity to have the youngest grandchild over. This is from our mid-morning walk in warm dappled light ❤️ I only wish I’d realized the value of this with our own children more fully…

July 24, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Barton Springs Greenbelt Austin Rocks at the Flats Poster
Yesterday posting about my resuming progress on a new watercolor on canvas (with absorbent ground) via beginning a study process for adding a figure to the nearly finished work, I mentioned I’d spent my 1st time at the nearby greenbelt in nearly 2 weeks! It was a pristine morning, warm, sunny, lightly breezy, and hardly…

Those following my blog know I’ve been focused on understanding and hopefully recreating the effects of dappled light, at least more consciously 😊 , in my art, and Dianne Mize’s short YouTube Quick Tip tutorial is perfect for me!

June 29, 2021 – My Newest Poster Upload @FineArtAmerica – Barton Springs Greenbelt Evening Light
I was so fortunate the other evening, having gone a bit earlier than usual, the day having cooled the tiniest bit, enough for me to chance it, and I caught this sight right off!…A little later I was offered a chance to catch a shot of a lady and her dog near this same spot.

I’m starting a small mini-series of posts about dappled light as a way of helping me get my head around why I like it so much and how I might replicate it in pigment better…Turns out many of my more favored photos have some degree of dappled light to them. Not all of my favs…

June18, 2021 – What Makes Dappled Light Work? It Almost Always Looks Good!
Being in and around a changing if steady light at the greenbelt near us has given me the visual impetus to actually think about something I’ve long liked in much of Renoir’s and other impressionists’ art work – dappled light.

June 15, 2021 – My New Upload @FineArtAmerica – Violet Crown Trail Morning (Digital Art) Poster
Though most of my hikes to the Barton Springs Greenbelt nearby are still exploratory, even when taking the 8 year old along 😊, I am beginning to recognize when I need, and want, to be there.
