Painting and learning from the #flatirons as seen from the green at #coloradochautauqua was such a joy! I appreciated the return to watercolor expression and to be curious and mesmerized by this #parkscenery in #boulder. After sketching on site I worked through adding many layers of paint in the studio..and resorted to many tricks of removing and adding dried paint..and then adding ground to a few worn paper surfaces..and finally highlighting with gouache. The paper was almost ruined and overcurled...but after flattenning with an overnight "press"..all good!

Excited to finish this one...part of my evolving walkability series...featuring places and scenery from Boulder, Spoleto, New York and beyond. This one is 36″x48″ acrylic paint..took almost 6 months! I cant wait to start another local artwork..and hopefully that will take less time to complete. I love observing and reacting to city and nature merging, adapting and framing experiences for the walking public, enjoying the passegiatta everywhere.

#HappyPiazza
This a watercolor, gouche and acrylic painting 14”x21” based upon Piazza delle Erbe in the town center of Verona, Italy. The view of the market plaza was adapted from a photo of the piazza that I took from the top of the Torre del Lamberti that is located on this famous public space. The artwork features the unique patterns of local streetlife and supporting public amenities that strengthen cherished places and urban experiences everywhere!

The Port of Gothenburg in Sweden is a very large industrial waterfront that we saw last summer on a delightful harbor cruise. The tower cranes that dominate the waterscape are remnants of the local shipping industry, and now part of a developing mixed use waterfront. This was a view captured by my camera..where a modern conference center is justaposed on the urban layers of waterfront history, and is a dominant visual mark of this wonderful waterfront City.

This is a sketchbook watercolor developed a week ago from the amazing living room view of a friend who lives in Talpa,New Mexico..up the valley from Ranchos de Taos and near Taos. This was our first trip out of Boulder in 8 months! And yes while sitting out there we were lucky to see ravens chasing a hawk!

First 15x22 watercolor! Lovely memory of looking back to Spoleto from a local trail admiring the urban form of this world heritage city nestled in the productive and green hillsides of Umbria Italy

Crayfishing with Aiy! With a downed tree branch, a red ball as a float, and household rope and a found rock, a DIY “fishing rod” becomes an unlikely tool to attract and pull out the ugly crayfish who are stirred up to actually “bite” and be pulled out of the lake! What a fine summer memory!
