In May, we travelled to Moab, UT to attend the wedding of our niece. We spent a day in Arches National Park, which was wonderful. This painting was done as a gift for the bride and groom. Double Arch 11x15 #watercolor.

Here’s the demo painting I completed during my reception last evening at the Waterloo Center for the Arts. It will go on the wall. The exhibition is up until at least mid-July.

Very true. To be an artist requires an empathetic view of your surroundings, which is antithetical to conservatives.

A bit late to the game. My painting β€œAmana Bicycle in Winter was accepted into the National Watercolor Society Members Show. I entered two paintings, and I thought the other was a much better painting. You just never know what the judge sees. Happy to have this in the show!

This was painted from a photo, but I do paint on site (not in Iowa winters). I start with a base drawing and paint from that.
