My newest #watercolor #Painting now available through an auction !

by on Sep.03, 2020, under Illusration

Here’s the watercolor version of the pencils I showed a few days ago.

I created this specifically for this auction. It’s a fund raiser to continue trying to do something about a mess involving a dam, the Rodman, that makes a mess of a river, the Ocklawaha, and costs taxpayers very significantly.

The original painting is of the three best known to document the Ocklawaha river over the past 3 centuries: Sidney Lanier, William Bartram and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (‘The Yearling’).

The auction is happening here: https://explore.webpdq.com/auctions/?ult_auc_id=589
There’s more there, too, to bid on.

A print version will be available through Fine Art America after the auction.

Of course, I’m also available to create other paintings and you can send me a private message about that. Due to the mess we are in, I am very much keeping my prices even lower than usual to work with you and trying to cover my bills. Let me know if I can help!

My newest painting ready for watercolor!

by on Aug.30, 2020, under Illusration

Here’s a scene I drew of Sidney Lanier, William Bartram and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings warping time in a canoe as three of the most noted writers to document the Ocklawaha River, here, in Florida.
 
It’s prepped for watercolor on 11″x14″ illustration board.
Plan to start water coloring Monday.
 
It’s for an auction. Not sure which one yet. Was supposed to be for one, but got on to it late trying to round up work to cover bills.Hope it will raise money for one of the two organizations that has dibs on it. I’ll let you all know which one gets it, if you want.

My Warm-Up Friday; Turlington Turkey and Lear’s Owl & Pussycat in color.

by on Aug.24, 2020, under Cartooning, Illusration

Jim Turlington’s birthday and, for some reason, Edward Lear came up. So, a nod to the limerick and Jim’s artistic specialty.
Added color later.
 
Wonder what I’ll come up with Monday?
