This painting took just four strokes. Then, wisely, I stopped.

This watercolor was painted with only one red, one blue and one yellow. Any other colors you see are because of colors mingled with each other. Fun to paint!

Sketching is a great alternative to impatience. Next time you’re kept waiting, grab a napkin and a pencil and sketch what’s around you. Don’t worry if it looks terrible, that’s what wastebaskets are for. Stay away from facial features — they’ll mess you up every time.

It’s your last chance to reserve a pet portrait during my election sale $250 $195 and have 100% of your money help to “get out the vote” in a top swing state! I have just completed five pet portraits including Baxter (below), and sent all the money to Down Home NC, which empowers and protects rural Black NC voters when they face voting intimidation from white supremacists like the Proud Boys. Your painting can be done now or later, for the holidays or a future gift. Reply to make a reservation now while your money can make a crucial difference.
