Girl on Beach with Book


My first attempt at a human subject. From the cover of a children's book.

Dolphin for Megan


This is my very first watercolor painting. It was done using my kids' 8-color set, a few old 25-cent brushes, and some printing paper. I cleaned it up on the computer a bit after scanning it. It now hangs in my daugher's room in a white frame.

Karen's Tulips


I guess I like painting other people's stuff. These were some flowers be bought for friends we were housesitting for in Felton, near Santa Cruz. I framed this and gave it to my mom on Mother's Day.

Nick's Barn with Horse


I have a friend who is a Pastor in Gridley. He and his wife own a sprawling 120-acre ranch in Rogue River Oregon. This is one of his three barns. The horse is from my kids' learn to draw book.
