Siding, Up Close #texture #photography #woodensiding #oldpaint #visualart #roughness I love bright days when the sun is low in the sky, especially when the rays glance off highly textured, rough surfaces.

Storefront at Night #pencil #penandink #watercolor #storefront #sketch #drawing #building #space I began with pencil, inked the main lines and added color to finish the sketch. The most satisfying part of this process occurred when I drew the framework.

Cap Sketch #sketch #drawing #pencilsketch #visualarts #figurative This is a pencil sketch of my new cap. I composed an abstract portrait of me wearing it, a few days ago.

Approximation and Reality #streetphotography #parkinglot #approximation #mathematicalmodel The photo below is an expanded view of one posted the other day. The rounded, colorful protrusion from the bottom right of the frame is approximated by the white rectangular outline that enters from the left of the picture, a crude model of the three-dimensional object.

One Step Removed #watercolor #painting #hospitalbed #emergencyroom #ER #memory With time, an event fades into the distance. A full sensory experience is abbreviated to important points that stick in the memory.

Line Tree and Leaf Another parking lot pic.

Misplaced Shadows #watercolor #abstractart #painting #Kandinsky #visualarts #disorganization I began this study with Kandinsky's work in mind. I wanted to create a visual relationship between crisp geometric shapes, circles and lines and some kind of formlessness.

Jelly Strands #watercolor #painting #alcoholmarkers #strands #jellyfish I integrated alcohol marker curves with broad expanses of watercolor in this study. It reminds me of a jellyfish with trailing tangles.

Fox #watercolor #figures #amorphous #cloud #abstractart #painting Only a small portion of this composition bears a resemblance to a fox (to me). It is a conglomeration of figures inside an amorphous cloud. What figures can you see in this composition?

Sky on the Line #photography #skyscape #sunrise #clothesline #clouds I don't have an unobstructed view of the sky from our back window. Black telephone and/or power lines interrupt the scene.  

Blue Twist #watercolor #painting #abstractart #alcoholmarkers #glazing I tried a new set of markers on a red-yellow background. I like the bold lines against the amorphous surroundings.

Spoon #photography #reflections #spoon #curiosity #DaVinci #naturalphilosophy I finished the biography of Leonardo DaVinci this morning. The lesson I learned from this book of more than 500 pages is: Be curious about everything.

Blue and Orange #watercolor #abstractart #painting #shading #gradations I tried two different types of shading in the study below. The blues vary from very dark to light blue by adding titanium white.

Street-Hole Cover at Night #streetphotography #streetlight #manholecover #nightphotography I'm not sure what this iron cover is protecting. I wouldn't call it a manhole cover, as it is only 12-18 inches in diameter.

Same Shot, Different Day #streetphotography #redcurb #parkinglot #nightphotography #rain This is my red-curbed corner at night... in the rain.  It is quite different from my…
