Quiet days in the studio during these cold, snowy days.

Wishing all my Bluesky friends a serene and blesséd Christmas.

Playing in the studio again today. Fire going and a fresh pot of coffee. My favorite kind of day.

First sketches for a larger watercolor painting. Small boy, barn and some chickens. Old Altoids mint tin with a few colors plus a water brush.

Hi Anna - I love drawing a painting those small sketches. My teachers used to call them doodling (on my text books wrapped in brown butcher paper) Here’s another one.

Hi Susan It was interesting reading your column in today’s Stamford Advocate only to see Dennis Mahoney’s next to yours. Dennis and I are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum but we have managed to have a civil discourse over the years. Attached is my newest watercolor prelim sketch.
