      I do too. Mostly pen and ink with some watercolor.

      I agree. The works were under glass, which made getting photos very difficult. I used an umbrella for a few and took some angle shots for the others. Thanks, Deborah.

    So cool. I like how the white backgrounds make the colored parts pop more.

      That was impressive for sure. I think it was his signature style.

    1 smoked turkey club, to go. Very much enjoyed the art. I felt I was down by the water, Cape Cod, maybe. The Monterey reference made me recall some time I spent at nearby Fort Ord. Beautiful environment there.

      The Union of the Socialist Republic of California is a beautiful state for sure. We lived there for ten years before we escaped to Texas.

      It was, Tim. I always enjoy seeing the art in person and try to do it justice in my photographs.

    If it’s about the sea, its for me! Beautiful artwork, John. I could almost hear the lapping waves and smell the salt air!

    What a talented artist! I love his paintings but probably couldn’t afford to buy one! I think the Southwest Caesar salad today – need to watch the calories!

      I understand your need. I have to remind you, though, my virtual food has no fat and no calories. Here, take this creme burleé.

    These are amazing. Some of them have so much detail.

      So true, Esther. I think the pen and ink allow more detail. 😊

    These are beautiful! Watercolor is not an easy medium to work with, especially with all the detail he has. “City Scape’ is my favorite.

      City Scape has an unusual feel to it. I like it too. Thanks, Lois
