Metamorphosis ( a Koi into a Dragon)
October 12, 2009
when thinking about the legend of Koi and how they will be transformed into a powerful dragon if they can swim upstream and leap over the powerful falls, I envision the little koi spinning and spinning faster and faster, till little by little the fish scales turn into armor dragon scales and the little barbell whiskers turn into fire flame throwing tentacles. What once was will never be again.
This wonderful painting is 15 by 22 watercolor on very nice watercolor paper $400.00 The koi on the right can be seen a little better in person, the glare of the plastic bag ( i use for storage) is making difficult to see.
Baby Snapping Turtle finds his way to my pond
October 10, 2009
Here is a photo of just one of the four baby turtles I have living in my water garden, I plan to take them down to the creek at the wild life preserve ( in North Carolina) when it gets a bit cooler.
They are very shy and usually hang out in the mud at the bottom of the water garden but he is pretty small so I can still pick him up.

a second space to paint
September 12, 2009I’m painting in watercolor these days and also in oil…. so I had to set up a small easel in my upstairs bedroom. You can see G man my funny guy giraffe. This is just the first pass and I will tone down the bright blue background. This painting is from my animals with attitude series. I painted it in Watercolor and I decided ….I’ll do this one also in oil.
The butterfly above is watercolor and gold leaf… I need to get that painting finished… also a large Koi painting in oil is hanging there and needs to be re-stretched and finished.
