One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

If I spent half as much time thinking about why I make art as I do making it, I would probably be a little more successful getting it out there. My house is filling up, and little tiny jpegs don't do them justice.

Day 4
Storm Clouds Gathering

A small mixed-media piece made with collage, acrylic paint, and black pencil.
I really like all the dramatic sky in this one. I can imagine myself in the the landscape, and wonder if I was about to get completely drenched when the storm began. #art

“Kindred Spirits” is the first piece I did this year, and it has been far and away my most popular print all year as well. Perhaps it would make a good holiday gift for a loved one?

The sunrises have been stunning these past few days. Climbed the big hill for this one and nearly died from exhaustion 😆. It was worth it though. #pleinair #sunrise

I need to scan this in properly, but I’m real pleased with this little watercolor study I did today 👉👈 I got Nita Engels’ book “How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself” and it’s been really helpful in figuring out some landscape techniques ☺️
