"Koi Symphony"

I love painting koi fish with watercolor.  This painting is

on a half sheet of Arches CP 140# paper.  It has been accepted 

into Sacramento Fine Art Center's Animal House annual 

open juried show from Aug 6 through Sept 1, 2019 

It has been a while since my last post though I have continued to
enjoy my art journey.  Besides painting, my other activities include
attending art workshops. entering into juried shows, some 

traveling, both in the States and abroad.  The most rewarding
experience in the past 3 years is making new artist friends.

The "Chrysanthemums" painting is a half sheet (22x15)
watercolor on Arches CP paper completed in the Fall of 2018.
It has been accepted into the Vacaville Art League
and Gallery's 41 Annual Juried Art Show.  

I'm humbled and honored that it received 1st Place
in the Watercolor Category.

This is painted from an old reference photo (black and white) from the late 1950s when it was Portuguese Timor.  This lighthouse in the capital of Dili is unique because it is not enclosed!

2016 Trip to Tuscany

This is a 1,000-year-old monastery of San Fedele in Radda,

What a beautiful and peaceful place to paint and play.
