F-Sted Morning

Frederiksted, or F-sted, is a lovely town on the island of Saint Croix. In the early morning, the city takes on bright hues as the sun rises over the buildings. Chickens stroll through quiet streets as residents awake. This watercolor painting attempts to capture the lazy, warm mood.

A late winter sunset over the canals is observed by a couple in Amsterdam. This is an original, vibrant watercolor, inspired by my personal travels to this lovely part of the Netherlands.

Lisboa by the River

Watercolor painting, 12″W X 16″H

I was lucky enough to travel to Lisbon in the late spring, and captured this dynamic scene as I was taking a river cruise. Lisbon is silhouetted against a turbulent sky after a brief, but turbulent, rainstorm. It was quite a challenge to keep color in the piece without taking away from the shapes the clouds were making.

Stillness

At the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, there was a curving stone ledge slick with water. The resulting reflective surface was an inspiration for this painting. I added an overhang of fog in the background to add stillness to this piece.

The original was painted on 300 lb Arches coldpress paper with Winsor & Newton paints.
