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 😊

Like, A Blush of Spring, Spring is a Lady is painted with Arteza’s watercolor Real Brush Pens on Canson 140 lb watercolor paper. But Spring is a Lady is also like Floating Butterfly in that it’s a pen and ink with watercolor wash, the pen and ink coming via my Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens,…

March 08, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Week @FineArtAmerica, Watercolor, “A Blush of Spring”
Painted with Arteza’s watercolor Real Brush Pens on Canson 140 lb watercolor paper, this is a rare work where I followed my instincts, pressed too far, messed it, then trusted my instincts to “see what would happen” – and A Blush of Spring resulted!

February 28, 2021 – My Most Viewed Image This Week @FineArtAmerica, Watercolor, “Charcoal Mountain”
Using one of Arteza’s black brush pens, it shows the pen’s exceptional ability to lay down thick and wash pigment (see image below). The thick nicely textured Canson XL watercolor paper of course helps too 😊
