Happy 4th

Happy 4th

15x22" watercolor on 140 lb Kilamanjaro

Maybe it's a sign of being tired of winter, this painting a picture from last summer. My daughter and I went to an alternative 4th of July parade up in Todd NC, orchestrated under the auspices of Elkland Art Center. I caught this young fella in the middle of the parade. We plan to get involved with it again this summer, I guess it can't come soon enough.

22x30" watercolor on 300 lb Kilimanjaro

This is an image of another street musician in the town of Boone. This is Edward, who also works in the produce section of the grocery store I frequent, so I have befriended him over the years. I've taken several photos of him in the past, but somehow decided on this one to paint. There was a lot of ups and downs with this piece - at times I really liked it in its development. I'm at the point now where I just wanted it to be over with so I could start on several other ideas I have.
