Utah


"Utah"

This one was done for Sarah, my daughter. It represents the scenery in Utah. Sarah and I took a road trip a couple years ago, and the ride through Utah reminded me of that trip with her.

Sierra Nevadas

This one was done for my mother. It is representing the train tracks that wound through the mountains.

Grand Junction

This one I did for my grandmother, who used to live in Grand Junction. This is the scenery and the western slope of the Rocky Mountains as seen from the train station in Grand Junction.

Nevada

"Nevada"



While away on vacation, I passed the time on the train by painting some postcards. I brought along a block of postcard sized watercolor paper, a travel size watercolor paint set complete with palette tray, additional paint brushes, watercolor pencils, waterproof markers, and some brush tip markers.

This one I call "Nevada". In the middle of the desert in Nevada, all that I could see was sand and sagebrush.

How could I do a collection of Day of the Dead without doing Frida? Come on! So here she is. She'll be #28 of the Every Day Art Project. Only one more to go. They changed the numbers to 29, due to some people dropping out.

Sir Potter - Dia de los Muertos


"Sir Potter"
Dia de los Muertos

This will be #27 in the Every Day Art Project.

I'm growing very weary of the project. Boredom is definitely setting in. I think I will be happy when this is over. Although I am having some anxiety about giving away some of my favorites. I'm going to re-read the rules on this thing. I seem to remember that I can send good quality prints of up to 9 entries that I just can't part with.
