It was cold this week so I pulled out one of my watercolor sketches I did in St Augustine FL last May. I was standing by the Castillo de Marcos fort looking out toward the bridge at low tide as you can see. St. Augustine is my favorite place in FL. Plenty of sites to see plus my folks live there.
I painted this from my pencil sketch from below and memory. One grave said 1887 the others were too worn to read. Email me the title if interested in buying.
I keep one of these baby Strathmore pads close at hand. I like the Strathmore 400 series paper. Nice off white color. This was drawn last fall from my car.
I started this on our wet Christmas afternoon in downtown Nashville. (Go Predators!) In no time flat panhandlers arrived like pigeons. I gave up, took a digishot and finished it at home. This is the First Baptist Church across the street from Hume Fogg and the Customs building. Nashville is chock full of interesting buildings. Other than the panhandlers, downtown is great.
I drew this while waiting for our food at Rossi's in Smyrna. These ladies are really chowing down. Rossi's serves some good italian food. Pay them a visit. I have been visiting a lot of folks drawing blogs as well. I always enjoy seeing coffee shop and restaurant sketches with people doing what they do in those joints.
This Kinkade piece needed something. So I added Godzilla and a giant moth. I hear he uses maple syrup for his painting medium. High fructose corn syrup added for extra sweetness. ( I liked his plein air book.) Price $10,000,495.99 + Free Shipping
