September 2013

Busy times as usual.
We, the TAG group artists, have a reception at the Emily Morgan on Wednesday, September 18th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the library. The Emily Morgan is downtown San Antonio next to the Alamo. Our new show will be up for 3 months. All my local friends, you are cordially invited!

Tess' World, oil
I finally got a picture of Tess' world that satisfies me.

Yesterday I finished a watercolor of an interesting house near San Antonio College. It has a lot of decorations and several of them are dragons. (You can see two of them on each side of the front door.) The weather vane on the roof of the tower is a golden dragon. I liked this view of the house best because of all the trees. I was experimenting with using more contrast, more tonal value in this particular one. Can you tell?


Captain's House, watercolor

A few new icons that will be for sale in Art on Main (www.artonmaingallery.net) in Pleasanton. They are painted on wood. The photographs are a little yellow, I still need to learn what to do to remedy that.

 
Have a great month!
