“Acadia Rain” has gone through a couple of changes .It was a
bit more conservative initially, I had a clearer foreground and I was hoping to
get it accepted into the SPLASH watercolor publication. But alas…so I went back
into it and took the foot off the brakes a little bit and it looks and feels
much better to me know.
This challenge to create with a pure heart regardless of the
expectations around me are tough. I have been reading Ed Betts' Master Class in
Watermedia for the tenth time and he does a good job talking about creating for
the sheer joy of it! He is inspirational!

I have always loved Diebenkorn and listening to Mary Ruedig
rave about the Diebenkorn/Matisse exhibit at the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art) intrigued me so I began my own “Hampton Beach Series”, after
Diebenkorn’s “Ocean Park Series.
I was also experimenting with aluminum panels, which are
pretty cheap these days, and no one knows what to do with them, here are a few
from this new series.
