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.

Sink Backsplash Tiles

After finishing several murals in our new home, I looked around to find a suitable location to do another 'artistic' project. I settled on the wall behind the sink in the garage.



I used the same collection of enamel, and interior and exterior latex paints I had used to paint the other murals. The colors were applied with a small flat brush and a natural sponge. I used an overlay of Marine Spar Varnish to waterproof it. The squares are 5.5 inches square with .25 inch spacing. I think this was completed in 2004.

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.
