Yahrzeit

 

Office Park

 Decided to go with a plan...

 

 Then I thought, maybe with color...

 

Cat's Cushion

 

Etched In Aparments Downtown

 

Dinner?

 

Early Frost

 

Snow at Dawn

 

Jellyfish Jazz

 One of the fun parts of my earlier work was the experimentation with different kinds of brushes. Today, I played with shifting hues based on pressure.

Mountains at Sunrise

 

Illogical Institute

 

This came to me while walking to the office yesterday.

The Underground

 

I got the wind right here in a jar
I got the rain on tap at the bar
I got the sunshine up on the shelf

Our Lady of the Underground

 

For the past 2 years I've been listening to the excellent Hadestown cast recording.  

I had to get this image out! 

Thanks to everyone involved in the production.

Marshmallow Beetle

 

During dinner one night Rebecca wanted to talk about Dung Beetles.  To keep things appetizing we switched things around so they were Marshmallow Beetles.  Rolling around Marshmallows in Candyland.

Plan:

Follow The Drinking Gourd

 Inspired by the folk song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follow_the_Drinkin'_Gourd 

Winter's Edge

 

Inspiration came from an off ramp of the Garden State Parkway where the day's light drizzle made a thick mist rise from the snow. 

Started this one with a fixed palette and some small plotting as to where to put the trees.  Having a fixed palette helps me focus more on the use of the colors rather than picking them later on. Although, the initial plan had green in it, I felt it was finished without it.
