Brother Mike, Garner
In 2016, I audited Chris Leeper’s watercolor class. Chris is one of the most well known painters in the tri-state area and further afield.
Using the layering and lifting technique, the portrait developed slowly, but it resulted in a second place ribbon at the Canfield Fair that year.

Uncle Pete,
Watercolor using several techniques: graduated wash for the background, transparent layers on the jacket, and lift out throughout the painting.

Apple Picking a Two Year Old, Garner
Using a photo reference of a little girl I know, I tried to create a moment in time. I deliberately left the background loose and unfinished. While I struggled with her hair, I was happy with the folds and shading in the jacket hood.

Four Home Runs Later, Garner
After a remarkable baseball game, my nephew asked that I paint him in uniform. Using a photo as reference, I started with a wet on wet technique for the background. I feel the painting is too flat, with not enough contrast.

Market Day, Garner
This is my first ever painting of a human being. Because I was just starting out, I chose a generic image found on the internet. I was especially interested in the decorative fabrics.
