Watercolor sketch of a 1956 Packard Clipper in two-tone blue. The car is pointed towards us, Angling to the right. It's notable for the two big chrome nacelles that extend from the amazing grillework.

A Muni Metro N Judah LRV heads South towards the ballpark on the Embarcadero. Overhead, clear blue skies. Lining the tracks on the right are palm trees and the Port of San Francisco piers, reflected in the clean sides and windows of the train.

The Golden Gate, seen from a coastal bluff, filled with brambles and white blossoms, on San Francisco's Lands End Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. A sharp tidal line marks the division between green Bay water and the blue ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge is seen a few miles away to the east. In the sky, puffy clouds reflect the ocean light.

A cherry tree in bloom stands on the sidewalk in front of an ornate, green, Victorian cottage on a steep hill in this watercolor painting. It's flanked by similar houses uphill to the righanx downhill to the left. Behind the house, against a blue sky with partial clouds, stands a tall acacia tree -- behind which is a bit of the San Francisco skyline.

A watercolor painting of the North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge peeking out from thick, peach-and-purple-colored fog covering the bay. In the foreground, the edge of the Marin Headlands are seen in shadow. To the right of the bridge, we can see the rosy San Francisco skyline, with the Bay Bridge and the hills of the East Bay in the background.

A painting of a green and tan house on a corner in San Francisco's Sunset District. Above the house, a bright blue sky with whiskey clouds. In front of it, a palm tree right on the corner, and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle parked in front of that.

A watercolor painting of a large and modern high school campus, with high several multi-story and buildings and one-floor bungalows. We look at the school from a landscaped, rock-and-scrub garden (the branches of a Monterey cypress intruding from the upper right) across a broad, largely empty street. Overhead, a blue sky with a few puffy clouds.

Thabks so very much!! I'd say basse on my experience thus far success flies not so much in controlling the watercolors but in providing the best parameters for them to do what they're going to do. Kind of like parenting?
