Absinthe Man

I created this painting as a demo for my older-adult students, loosely based on the husband of one of my students. I love the green cocktail. I turned the painting in to a blank greeting card for sale during my October open house. Stop by.

My Elder-Art students love to paint flowers. This is a demo I created for them. We are working on "negative-painting" or defining forms by darkening the area around them.

Sunshine Wildflowers

I can't paint rain everyday...today's painting is wildflowers, for my mother-in-law on her birthday.

Another Rainy Chicago Day

Quick watercolor study in my sketchbook after photographing some commuters-in-the-rain this morning. I think the colors need work before I execute this as a full size watercolor painting.

Chicago's Rainy Spring

Almost every one of my son's middle school baseball games have been canceled due to rain or wet fields. All this rain inspired me to create a rain series of paintings. Here, unfinished, is the first one, inspired by a painting by watercolor artist Mary Whyte.
