The coastal city of Charleston has a lot of history. Many homes are tucked behind ‘palisades’ or walls, making you wonder what lies on the other side. In this case, the flowers were peaking over the railing adding even more texture against the stone textures.

Parisian sunsets can vary considerably and many are quite dramatic. They are magical! Many thin, glazed layers were used to achieve the glow of the sunset. Simplifying the large shape of the backlit Parisian architecture created a great contrast to enhance the glowing sky.

Looking toward the entry, away from the water, the light coming through the windows created interest and reflected onto the shiny bar top.

Paris abounds with painted, historical glass on shop windows. Sadly, they are becoming a lost art but many are restored and remain even today. They tell the story of Paris. By simplifying the background reflections, I created a backdrop for the genuine gold-leafed painting to give it the illusion that it is on the glass.

The composition of Pont Royal Reflections tells you about the shapes the reflections created from the buildings. When you study them, you will see the reflections are the Louvre. By cutting off most of the buildings at the top, I was able to draw you to the reflections. Although a limited palette, many impressionistic colors were used within simple shapes to achieve the stone textures.

I have always wanted to paint the striking, gold statues on the Pont Alexander III Bridge in Paris, but the light was never correct. On this special evening, the golden sun was setting with many colors and it was creating deep, reflective shadows and colors on the statues.. Adding just a bit of genuine gold leaf to the painting was a final touch to express my feelings.

It is fairly peaceful to sit on a Tuscan villa patio in Cortona, Italy, watching the sun go down while sipping a glass of Chianti. I was doing just that while teaching a painting workshop in Tuscany. Suddenly, the sky turned a warm yellow creating a reddish glow on the trees yet leaving the foreground a cool blueish-purple. Capturing the fleeting moment is what this painting is about.

In Panzano, staying at Villa le Barone, high on a hilltop above Florence, this view was just down the road. It inspired me because of the various textures - one of my favorite painting styles to do. When painting this in watercolor, I must do a lot of ‘negative painting’ as watercolor must always go light to dark and few corrections can be made. White paint is rarely used.

Paris flower markets are wonderful with their overflowing palettes of color. To retain simple shapes with this image, the technique I used was ‘poured watercolor’. The artist must simplify all of the shapes of color, in my case, no more than 5 values. Starting light to dark you mask only the lightest values, then literally ‘pour’ thinned watercolor over the entire painting in yellow, red, and blue, letting it mix on the paper at various steps. The shapes are built with each darker value color. This technique lets watercolor do its magic by mixing the colors on the paper, not the palette.
