Pine Cones

 I have been trying to do a few more paintings for the 30 x 30 Direct Watercolor Challenge. This was done from one of my photos taken at Robert Moses State Park.

Katz's Deli

 The NYC Urban Sketchers virtually visited Greenwich Village. I sketched at Katx's Deli..andyone for a pastrami on rye?

Sweet Lefty Lucy

 Last week Lefty Lucy 's theme had something to do with candy and sweetness...hence the lollipop in some of the sketches. Here are some of my sketches.

I must apologize to many of you. I am having serious problems with Blogger and many days I have been unable to respond to comments on my blog or comment on other people's blogs. It is frustrating...and then some days (rare days) it works fine. I may end up having to do a new blog...I hope not!

Self Portrait in Direct Watercolor

 I wanted to try another portrait in direct watercolor and who better to use as a model beside myself?

Juicy 1 & 2

 Both of these were done in direct watercolor for the 30 x 30 Challenge. I'm so way behind that I'm not making an effort to finish. I'm lucky if I've been able to do much of any art lately. I just don't have the inspiration at the same time that I have my materials nearby. For some reason my small set of paints were on the table and I grabbed the fruit and painted it quickly before I ate it.

Trees and Grasses

This is another direct watercolor for the 30 x 30 Watercolor Challenge. This was done at the Bayport Preserve pre-surgery, 

Sea Ready

 Here is another direct watercolor for the 30 x 30 Challenge that I did before my surgery. I like boats that are tied up along the bulkheads in Patchogue.
