Title or Location: English ship Revenge 1577
Revenge was an English galleon, built in 1577 and captured by the Spanish in 1591, sinking soon afterwards. It is considered one of the best galleons of its time, and it was the flag ship of Sir Francis Drake. This model, scale 1/350 , and the display case, were completely built from scratch and it took about 3 months to complete this work. Its all cedar and mahogany, also some other precious woods were used in the intarsia as well.Its a little piece of histoy I get to enjoy every day in my c

Title or Location: Archer Park
This is the piece I created while hosting the most recent McAllen Watercolor Group meetup. It's the local coffee shop that's across the street from Archer Park. Archer Park is a great location because the buildings are all different styles of architecture. It's become on of my favorite places for plein air painting.

I?m always looking for more animals to paint. I always start with the eyes, they have to be right for me to continue. I have a few followers that love colors, so I put as many as I could in this one. Plans are to do a matching elephant next.

Title or Location: Bath Pulteney Bridge
On these last cloudy days of autumn, I had a walk around Bath Central and spotted this beautiful view from the riverbank under Bath Pulteney Bridge. I had to paint it because it brought me lots of feelings. Autumn goes, winter comes, and another year is coming to an end.

Title or Location: Christmas 2024: Home for the holidays
This was a real house on the free site UnSplash that I changed up to get the effect I wanted. I created this in watercolor and wanted to evoke a Christmas Eve scene of the warmth and comfort it feels to stay in on a snowy night with family. I tried to capture the setting sun and the inviting warmth inside with the frigid cold outside. Also while showing how much fun they had making this snowman. If you look closely there is a surprise lamp in the window that I added...FRA-GI-LE&128514... It's

Title or Location: The Fragrance of Christ
The Bible says that we are the fragrance of Christ. Some of us are in full bloom. Some are just little buds yet with all potential. We spread the aroma of life in the places that are most in need, such as abundant gardens or wilderness. The beauty attracts attention and brings the message of Christ about life and hope.
