Day Before the Holiday

I had a feeling of cold winter stillness when painting this watercolor painting. Though it was the day before Xmas and I was playing with my boy Drew, it was a bright but cold day. Drew is 4 1/2 years old. We sat down to paint and I did this watercolor while he preferred to worked on his robots. This is a 5"x7" painting.

This painting is in a private collection.

South Dakota Easy Quiet


A summer memory on the plains of South Dakota looking toward Iowa near West Field Iowa. I just cant help stopping to paint once and a while. Sometimes I just traverse the back roads and try to commit the scenery to memory, that was the case for this painting. This 5"x7" Watercolor is painted on cotton archival paper.

This painting is in a private family collection.

South Dakota View, Jefferson SD

Painting again. I went a bit Zen, simplifying the color placement by letting the painting happen on its own. This is a view by memory near where my Grand Father lived near Jefferson, South Dakota.
This original watercolor size is 5"x7" and was painted December 23rd 2013.
