Hi Dean--thanks! No spatter--I just used a splayed brush to drag darker colors, drybrush style, over the lighter washes. Sometimes I tapped the texture on with the end of the brush.
I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the
United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor
murals and illustrated over twenty books.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

Don, thanks SO much for this look into your beautiful little corner of the world. What a gorgeous spot-I can see why you love it!
Deborah you're most welcome. This place is especially beautiful this time of year, when the water jumps the creekbanks. Thank you for coming by.
beauty of a watercolor, and another fantastic video! what a place you live in!
Don!
Ohhhh, I love this latest landscape painting!
Green is my most favorite color and what color dominates in this painting? Green!
I just love the texture of the trees' foliage.
How did you do this? Some of the leaves look so soft looking almost like splatters of paint were applied.
Am I right?
Funny how the painting's almost all one color but it still manages to be so visually interesting!

Love your painting and all the ones I didn't get to comment on recently! You are doing an excellent job depicting spring in its very fresh qualities!
Thanks, Martha. I love seeing the photos you post of your gorgeous part of the world, too. What a lovely home in the woods you have.
