More reals and imaginaries in watercolor

Buildings, again
Above are two versions of the full image from the sneak peek of the waterfront. buildings, this time without photographic sky. I'd like to work more intricately with the window panes of them— maybe create some animations. Imagine the panes being even more kaleidoscopic, color-wise, and all shimmering and shifting— a transition from day to night, showing… Continue reading Buildings, again
Waterfront buildings at dusk
Here is a sneak peek at a work in progress. It probably won't have a photographic sky in the final; we'll see. I was just playing with that. Anyway I like the kaleidoscopic colors in the window panes. That was my initial idea or point of departure: the way window panes facing or nearby the harbor catch light at different… Continue reading Waterfront buildings at dusk
Watercolor on buckling pages
I'd practically forgot about the travel set of watercolors, so brought them with me last night to do some observationals and imaginaries. She began a story— There were two houses... I don't know the rest of it, as I got lost in the rendering of two little houses, the situation of whose windows is pure whimsy. The houses list ever… Continue reading Watercolor on buckling pages
Floor plans of a room: art archive
I've no recollection of what these plans / designs were intended for; sketches at least 18 years old. Regardless of their erstwhile infamy, I don't know what the three screens were about, and don't know to what room these referred. And what on earth is “Model of Strategy”? It had to be for work (“Time to… Continue reading Floor plans of a room: art archive

Studies for paintings: art archive
Here are some sketchbook studies from some years ago. Two of these (above right and farther below) turned into oil paintings (working in thin glazes) on wood panels, frames painted to match. In the case of the studies (second set in particular), I believe the finished pieces lost something in the translations; the faces are more… Continue reading Studies for paintings: art archive
Obervations from the sketchbook
Ink works: art archive
Apologies! This was meant to post yesterday— the danger of three day weekends; one forgets what day it is. Anyway, I love this drawing! It's an illustration that I did (in ink) as a full page for a magazine layout project back in the day. It's my friends Kelley, Thomas, and Sean (but they were in the… Continue reading Ink works: art archive
Early grotesques: art archive
A number of years ago I published a limited edition of a book of drawings entitled A Collection of Surmised Grotesques. It was a project that grew out of my sketchbook drawings; some were loosely based on observations, though many were invented out of whole cloth. Each page featured an individual, and a line or two about personality,… Continue reading Early grotesques: art archive
