My finished projects: A Royal Family! – May 3rd, 2018

by on May.03, 2018, under Caricatures, Cartooning, Florida Restaurants, Illusration

Here’s the finished painting I had shown in progress earlier.
It’s of a family who own a restaurant, Dee Dee’s Cafe, in Ocala, Florida.
The owner loves television programs about royalty and I then interspersed various other interests of the husband and sons.

The scan muted subtleties of the watercolor painting. The board is Crescent Board.

My finished projects: Watercolor painting for client! – March 28th, 2018

by on Mar.28, 2018, under Caricatures, Illusration

Fiona likes to cook, grow her garden and takes trips back to her native England. The professional organization she is a leader of has a stuffed bobcat mascot, that I added as her helper.
This is watercolor on Crescent board (Now that Arches is gone.)

Detective Frog I painted a few years ago for my father…. January 5th, 2017.

by on Jan.05, 2018, under Illusration

Thought I’d post one of the annual paintings I’d do for my father’s birthday, which would’ve been today. Each had some kind of frog in it. This one a hard boiled detective after the bad guy.
