Loose, 18-minute watercolor sketch of a 1956 Chevy stepside pickup truck, bright red, with a black cover over the cargo bed. Quick watercolor sketch of a gold 1968 Mercury Cougar with a black vinyl roof, and hidden headlights. We are looking head-on at the car with the Great Highway in the background. Watercolor sketch of a 1956 Packard Clipper in two-tone blue. The car is pointed towards us, Angling to the right. It's notable for the two big chrome nacelles that extend from the amazing grillework.

Lands End Trail (from a springtime hike)

#watercolor #watercolour #sf #sanfrancisco
The Golden Gate, seen from a coastal bluff, filled with brambles and white blossoms, on San Francisco's Lands End Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. A sharp tidal line marks the division between green Bay water and the blue ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge is seen a few miles away to the east. In the sky, puffy clouds reflect the ocean light.

Victorian cottage, Ingleside, San Francisco

#watercolor #watercolour #sf #sanfrancisco #art
A cherry tree in bloom stands on the sidewalk in front of an ornate, green, Victorian cottage on a steep hill in this watercolor painting. It's flanked by similar houses uphill to the righanx downhill to the left. Behind the house, against a blue sky with partial clouds, stands a tall acacia tree -- behind which is a bit of the San Francisco skyline.

A watercolor painting of a large and modern high school campus, with high several multi-story and buildings and one-floor bungalows. We look at the school from a landscaped, rock-and-scrub garden (the branches of a Monterey cypress intruding from the upper right) across a broad, largely empty street. Overhead, a blue sky with a few puffy clouds.

A watercolor painting shows the back of a man in a plaid shirt, sitting on a bench in front of his house. The door of the garage is open, and inside are, in addition to a parked truck and lots of possessions, some friends, and a dog. Outside the house, sunbeams filter through lush green trees on the sidewalk.

Meraviglia
Acrylic, 24"x36"
#painting #art #abstract
An abstract composition in black, yellow and muted reds on a cyan/teal background with swirling lines and color fields in a shape vaguely remeniscent of a human head, perhaps that of an astronaut gazing out at the galaxy. The same painting, leaning against a fence to show a sense of scale.
