The nice folks at the Society of Watercolor Artists in Fort Worth have asked me to give a slide presentation of my work at their January 25th meeting. I'll be showing photographs of my watercolors and some oils and will have step by step examples of works in progress and some time-lapse videos of paintings from start to finish.
Watercolors are my preferred medium for working out ideas in my sketchbooks...
...and for sketching objects around my home.
They are easily portable and perfect to take along on my travels.
They're handy when the pilot announces that we will be stuck on the runway for an hour due to bad weather.
On occasion I like to paint the same subject in watercolor and oils, such as Pont Neuf in Paris...

...or a lamppost in Portugal.

I sometimes use watercolor to explore a subject before painting it in oils.

And they're great fun for painting trees.
