Uno Ponte


well this bridge was really very lovely...right outside our hotel window...I loved the way the water looked under the bridge....and the sunset and the boats and all the little Pontes one had to cross to walk up to Piazza St Marco...watercolor and gouache 15x15"

Venice, morning, sunset and dusk




These watercolor studies were done from our hotel room window at the "Bucintoro" in the Arsinale neighborhood of Venice...every time I looked out the window I wanted to start another painting...I could spend a year easily painting what I loved about Venice...more to come I hope...these are watercolor and gouache 12x16"

Down in the Islands




Time passes too quickly when you are having fun...St Croix is still a very beautiful place to hang out on the beach...and paint when the spirit moves you...which is just about all the time and everywhere I look I see something that I would love to paint...these are all watercolors and gouache 12x12" 12x16"
