Jerry Van, Music Man

posted in: limited palette, New Artwork, Tips and Techniques, watercolor | 0

My new watercolor painting, of local musician and friend Jerry, is one I painted in my brain long before it landed on paper! I took reference photos nearly 2 years ago, when Rick and I happened upon Jerry and his friend Mike, playing music on a sunny afternoon in front of his wife Dona’s pottery studio and shop, The Castle. Once I viewed my photos, I was inspired to capture what I saw in a painting – visually, capturing Jerry’s … Read More

Jesus Saves

posted in: limited palette, New Artwork, Tips and Techniques, watercolor | 0

  My newest painting “Jesus Saves” is in watercolor, depicting a barn I have often photographed on a nearby rural backroad. It has so many fabulous textures – the old barnyards, rusted metal panels as siding, rusty hinges, an overturned water tub, a field of wildflowers. I could hardly wait to get started. The first step was designing my painting. Even though my art largely duplicates the scene, I keep basic design principles in focus right from the start – … Read More

The Farmhouse Revisited

posted in: New Artwork | 2

Yeah! I’m painting again, after having to sacrifice my painting time to other priorities during much of 2011. I’m delighted to be back at it, and my New Year’s resolution was to finish a partially completed commission by the end of January. Here it is, my newest painting, “The Lewis Farmhouse.” It might look familiar, since this is the second painting I’ve done of this home. The first painting (shown in my previous blog post, called “Mamaw & Papaw’s House”) … Read More

Mamaw & Papaw’s House

posted in: New Artwork | 0

I delayed posting about my latest painting, since it was commissioned as a special gift and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise. It was painted for a young woman named Alison, from her dad Mitch. This is the country farmhouse which was Alison’s maternal grandparents’ home when she was a child, so she has many wonderful memories of time spend there with her cousins. The grandparents are deceased, and now the home is under different ownership. I had visited … Read More
