Another 6×6 watercolor from along route 15 near Lucketts. I liked the light effect on the roof.
Finished Works
Sheep at sunset
6×6 watercolor of some sheep hanging out between Leesburg and Luckets.
Through the trees
6×6 watercolor of the Potomac River. Ultramarine Blue, Viridian, Burnt Sienna, Van Dyck Brown, Yellow Ochre. A great color palette for fall and winter painting.
Red Rock Overlook
I hike and run at Red Rock Overlook a lot. This is the signature view. I wanted to see if I could make it look as if it had classical importance. 5×7 watercolor in yellow ochre and Van Dyck brown.
Antique shop along the Potomac
Just finished this one–an antique shop along the Potomac near the bridge at Point of Rocks. Mostly Daniel Smith Van Dyck Brown and Prussian blue with some warmth from Transparent Pyrrole Orange and yellow ochre.
Frozen Potomac river
The river has frozen in a long of places. This is a view of the Virginia shore from Point of Rocks in Maryland. 6×6 watercolor.
Private Property—Potomac River
First painting of 2018. I came across this scene on one of my hikes along the Potomac river a month ago.
Finished Hazy Potomac River Piece
For this scene the thing that most interested me was the white buoys in the distance on the right. I saw them from far off and tried to get as close as I could before I ran out of land to walk on. A little mystery on an otherwise calm afternoon.
Big sun on the river
This image is from late last summer when we were having dinner on the water in Annapolis. Just got around to painting it yesterday and today. Lemon yellow mixed with yellow ochre to get the sunlight. The rest is indigo and sepia. The highlights on the posts are white and yellow ochre dry brushed on. I will probably do this again with a different palette to get more subtly of light and color.
Bearded cloudÂ
On my way in to work the other day I saw an incredible cloud falling off the sun like a bad false beard.
