Catching Rays in Rabat

I came across this gentleman in Rabat, Morocco along the beach. In the heat of a North African summer was this guy in coat and tie sitting under an umbrella. That's one of the joys of travel, the unexpected things that just jolt you.

Seperated By a Common Languagee

We were in Gibraltar doing the tourist thing and my wife approached a bobbie for directions. I don't do alot of figuarative work but the story told by the gestures was compeling. This painting was jurored into the International Watermedia Show.

6ixth & Trinity

I consider myself very lucky to live in Austin, Texas and to have studied art at the University of Texas at Austin. Although I travel a lot, I could focus on Austin for material and not miss a lick. The Siixth Street area is a local hotspot but what attracted me in this composition was the narrative between the couple and their environment.

Arlecchino

I was fortumate to have studied in Italy for a summer. During my stay I learned about the Commedia del Arte.  One of my sons is an actor and I did a three figure Commedia del Arte piece for him. After that project I focused just on Arlecchino and came up with this piece.

Mykonos Porch

Mykanos was a delight but very touristy. Often, I'll focus in on something that catches my eye. Blue doors are big on Mykonos and this features a blue door but its not the focus of the painting. Harsh light creates sharp shaows and washes out the color. Hopefully, you can feel the heat of the day.

The Tourists

This composition from Mykanos plays off the color in the overhanging bouganvilla and the wisteria(?) and repeats that color combination in the clothing of the figures.
