Missouri Watercolor Society

I am going to be in the Missouri Watercolor Society Members Invitational Show. Missouri Watercolor Society, Columbia Art League Gallery, located in the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts.: CAL, 207 S. Ninth St. Columbia, Mo. Show will hang from Sunday, August 21 through Friday, October 15, 2010. Reception and Awards: September 12th

I did this watercolor from a photo on my computer while I was watching the gallery in Clayton today. I am trying some Charles Reid techniques.

Urban Cloud Mass

A studio painting done at Artists of Grace and completed at home. This was done from a photo I took of a Summer storm coming in from the West.

Dad's Flowers

Painted at Artists of Grace awhile ago, I just brought it home recently. It was on display in the Grace Gallery. It is a studio painting of oil on stretched canvas. It was painted from a photo of iris from my garden along with some flowers from my Dad's funeral. I brought the iris in and they had been damaged by a storm. I though I would paint the darkness and damage related to feelings about losing my parents, but as I painted it turned into a painting of beauty and the idea that Jesus said In my Father's House are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you. The light in the background is a road forward.

Jacob the Bard

This is a fantasy oriented oil painting on stretched canvas. I finished this a while ago at Artists of Grace, but I am running behind on posting. Summer yard work seems to be taking up my time this year. I have more work finished that I have not photographed nor posted.

Senior Moments Show at St. Peters

Dropped off paintings for the Moments Show at the St. Peters Community & Art Center on St. Peters Howell Road. The reception is Friday, July 16 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Hope to see you all at the reception.

Morning Plein Air from Hellebusch Park in Bridgeton. I walked over and pulled my supplies in a little 2 wheel cart. This is oil on canvass board done with palette knife.
