"Streets of Loreto"

"Streets of Loreto" Watercolor 8"x8", price $175.00

I was invited to teach a series of workshops to a watercolor group in Loreto, BCS Baja in 2011. When I was between workshops, I greatly enjoyed biking around the little town of Loreto and finding pictures of things I could paint some time. Here was one shot I took. I like the morning shadows, and the view of the Sea of Cortez in the distance.  I would like to go back again sometime.  Note also a few examples below of some of the steps of the painting.

To Rainy to Paint Outside

We have spent a few fun days on the Oregon coast. The last few days have been very rainy, and it has made it kind of hard to paint outside. So I did a little watercolor in the beachhouse using my laptop as reference. Here is the painting and one of the photos I used as reference.

Art on the Oregon Coast

A good friend recently gave us the opportunity to stay at their beach house on the oregon coast. My family and I left on my son's spring break. The first 2 days had pretty good weather, so we painted outside. Today is some pretty serious rain. I guess you could call me a "fair weather painter" I may paint inside on a watercolor today we shall see. So here are a few shots of our time and painting on the oregon coast. To see more photos (click here) on facebook, if your interested in the plein air paintings, see them on my daily paintworks gallery.

"HOCKEY ART"

"Sunrise Scrimmage" Watercolor - 34"x16" prints avail.

 I have to say one of my great joys is to watch my sons play ice hockey. It is such a cool sport. Probably one of the COOLest sports on the planet I think ;). I have taken many photos over the years watching my sons play, and now have done a few paintings of them each playing. The above image was taken when I used to help with assistant coaching, and the boys would have to get up and on the rink about 6 am. The rink we had was open at one end where the sun would shine through in the morning and make for some neat shadows and imagery. My older son Will is on the far left. I have prints available of the image up to as wide as the original image 16"x34" contact me for custom sizes or see below.

Josh with his Christmas gift painting, framed in his old hockey sticks!

When my son Will played hockey, he liked playing defense. One time I was taking photos at a game at our rink in Moscow, Idaho, and I caught a photo of Will scoring his first goal ever from the blue line  (below). It was very exciting and worthy of a painting. I have prints of this available in 11x15. Let me know if your interested.
