I love the history of old buildings and cities. This door is from my travels to Estonia with my dad and grandparents. This was my first time painting on paper. I am converted.
This painting came out pretty quickly, which normally does not happen for me.




I had extra boards hanging around and finding myself bored one evening, I just started throwing paint around. This is what I came up with.


I wanted to see what would happen if I went into a painting having no plans of subject, composition, color, etc. It turned out to be a mess really. I like doing small paintings like this however, because you are allowed to make mistakes and do different things.

People


I am a people watcher.
A nice name for a creep.
Someone who likes so sit in public areas and watch people's interactions and how they carry themselves. I think that clothes can say a lot about a person, what they think about themselves and others.
Anyways, I love to study the figure. The body is beautiful. These are a few sketches/watercolors/collages that I have done recently in my little sketchbook.



















The Mistake Book



My "mistake book."
I went to DI and bought an old book. My water color teacher gave us the assignment to spend five minutes every day creating anything, and something or nothing in this used book. I found that by exploring just ONE thought every day, my ideas for bigger projects became much more profound.
Here are just a couple of pages of my doodles.
