So its been a while since I’ve posted anything and a lot has changed. I came to a point where I needed a change or maybe a visit to old ways. I needed to tell visual stories again. Maybe I painted myself into a corner with abstraction and had run as far as I could with my Long Series project.
After the election of Trump I really felt shocked and I felt a need for the return of the figure and a narrative in my painting. I needed satire, humour, horror, history and any other number of ways of expressing myself.
Somehow I ended up exploring the portrait and in this case punk portraits…just because.

So good to hear you are well and creating! These are exquisite, lively, beautiful, and fun. Wow. Wish I could take a water color class from you; just amazing.
Yay! What a treat! Good for you.

Thanks Kitty! I will try to post more again. My best advice for someone interested in working with watercolour is to use artist quality paint and high quality watercolour paper. I recommend Arches 140lb or 300lb sheets.
