I was digi-sketching using a wacom tablet and this turned into my old studio and house in New Mexico.

my half-pan palette

This is the Winsor & Newton half-pan travel kit which I used for the last painting post. At one time in my life, back in Little Rock, we had a loose knit group of outlaw artists who started the American Society of Half-Pan painters. We all scattered as usual, and now I think we should revive this bunch and go virtual.

Another found painting

I painted  this watercolor circa 1975 of a man from the Taos Pueblo. I recently received a nice note from the current owner in Louisiana, and it is great to know that the painting has a loving home.

Tins

Watercolor - a study in color temperature.  8" x 10" circa 1977. I remember doing this little piece early one morning in my cabin studio in New Mexico with a wood fire going in the pot belly stove. I always had to thaw my frozen watercolor paint from the night before, because I had no other heat but wood. Those were good days. I found this image on AskArt.com. It has probably been re-sold several times. I do not know who owns it now.

matted pieces

Barn at Picacho. A study

This is a 5" x 8" (actual size when clicked) watercolor on Satin Arches 140 lb paper. A bit dark maybe, but a larger painting to come, will be more controlled. I worked from a small pencil drawing which I made on location.

This is where I need to spend more productive time....2009!
