Studio Tour

Go on a tour of my studio and see my latest Tree Series drawings. 

Experimenting with Paper

This is an experiment in paper with one of my tree series drawings. Usually I use sketch paper, but this is printing paper which is much thicker than sketch paper. Because of the thickness the initial step of rubbing texture from the tree is more subtle than my past drawings. This drawing is coming out with less dark values, interesting. We will see what happens. 

Large Scale Tree Series drawing in the works!

This is a 3 x 4 foot drawing on sketch paper which is in process. It's about 50% complete. I began this drawing in Penland and have continued working on it at my studio at the McColl Center. This is the largest drawing I have done in this series to date.

Cityscapes of Charlotte - A New Series

 

Here is my new series of Charlotte Cityscapes. The series has 10 paintings. The entire series are 8 x 10 monoprints on paper with watercolor and colored pencil. The above painting is the Common Market in South End. They have the best pimento cheese sandwich in town! It's great how you can see through the building structure. All paintings are $190 plus shipping. Three have already found new homes in private collections. 

 Camp North End at dusk. The water tower at Camp North End is massive. I need to do a paintings of the Gamma Goat truck from the Army located on the property.
