Florida Watercolors

Saint Joseph Peninsula State Park, Gulf, Florida

sand dunes at St Joseph Peninsula state park

These were done quite a few years ago. I have recently been doing some gouache copies of work and do not want to post any of those since they are quite derivative, so here's at least more original work.

Creative Endeavors

My marks on the pages of my sketchbook/journal help me to become more aware of my surroundings; a visual diary and sequential record of days of my life. Sometimes I'm working from my car, an "onsite studio". Almost always these drawings are "drawn on location".

My knitting and my weaving are other ways for me to explore color and texture; to use my hands to create and build up. Again the choices are a sequential record. The inches, feet and yards of cloth become a "journal", similar to the way pages eventually make up a book. I prefer to weave the design as I go along rather than to have it all figured out ahead of time.
