Many Thanks to Dennis Clark (Instructor)

Learned a lot from Mr. Clark's online watercolor session.  Really helped to see a "start to finish" tutorial.

Texaco Service Station
             1925


plan, plan, plan... I started this painting before realizing, I didn't know how to "do" trees... :)
Blue Bonnet



...just a blue bonnet... more of an exercise than a painting... besides, all painters in Texas are required to do at least one blue bonnet painting... :)
Morning Tea



...reserve your whites... the most important part of the painting is what you don't paint...
Water Lily


...stop before you think your finished.  Got some experience scrubbing off paint I had already applied...
