This repository has a two fold purpose. One, to keep a record of the watercolor, water soluble oil and colored pencil pieces I paint and their evolution. Secondly, to maintain a record of my past, and possibly future, writings.

Palm and Rural Murals

Two more murals painted in our home.



This palm was added to finish a short hallway and hopefully complement the larger palm mural I had painted several weeks earlier. It is 3.5 feet wide and nine feet tall. Again, I used natural sponges.



A tapered piece of foam was used to create the grasses.



The small country home, painted in the master bath,
tries to represent the Mediterranean region countryside we have come to love.



The piece is 4.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall. Natural sponges were used for the scenery and small brushes used for the building. This is the second time I had used brushes on a mural.

Hi Kate,

You're right, Italy. Good eye.

It's been a very long month. Sorry for no postings or any other blogging activity.

Hi Joeys,

Just tell your peeps you need a few different colors of paint, a brush and sponge and blank wall. Then go for it!
