Mario and the POURED watercolor . . .

Mario (at left) is a 4-value "poured" watercolor over-painted with acrylic. It's NOT finished (as usual) but I like the technique. It's so easy it feels like cheating. Mario was a model at a 3-hour drawing session I go to in Louisville on Saturdays.

I've enrolled in an acrylic 2-day workshop in Billings Montana (!) to study with Don Tiller. I LOVE his landscapes and want to get a handle on how he does them. His paintings are so happy.

Art is making ME very happy. Otherwise, I'm busy planning for my old age (as if it's not already here).
It seems that NOW I have time to notice small things, whereas I couldn't when I was so busy working.
