Watercolor, 30" X 22" Private Collection
Original SOLD - Giclees Available $45
How did I do
that? I
am often asked that question! Working with “purist” watercolor techniques (which means no white or black
paint) my goal is to capture on paper a memorable and creative
visual impression for the viewer. I sketch in my sketchbook making
notes for future paintings and take hundreds of photos that I use for
resource material.
Since my ideas come from many sources I like to have a “painting plan”. Although each painting is different, I begin with a compositional plan of lights and darks in a 2” x 3” value sketch in my sketchbook and proceed to a full-size drawing on my watercolor paper. Using both large and small brushes as well as a “pouring” technique, I add vibrant colors in layers of transparent glazes in a style I call
“impressionistic realism”.
If you look closely at my work, you can see “negative painting” in the osprey’s nest, light “poured” into the water
in "Jellies" and clear transparent “luminous color” in the
seascape paintings of the Florida Keys. Please come to one of the shows and stop by for an art chat.

This painting is a watercolor of the beautifully restored buyboat owned by
the Deltaville Maritime Museum located at the Holly Point Nature Park in
Deltaville, Virginia. In planning the design of my painting I worked
from photographs I took from the water while the buyboat was in her "home
port" and met several times
with John England, head of the “Crocketteers” restoration committee. I
have given this original painting to the Deltaville Maritime Museum in honor
of the dedication of the F. D.
Crockett this spring. I am honored that the painting will also have a
permanent "home port" and be on display for visitors at the museum.
