Watercolor Paintings

My paintings, the originals for sale are usually nature related. It is my joy to paint the beauty and wonder of the awesome gifts of God.

Originally I learned how to paint with oils. One year my sister gave me a calendar of watercolor paintings. It intrigued me and I decided to give watercolors a try.

Now I enjoy painting both oil and watercolors. There is a rich classic beauty in oil paintings and a freedom with watercolors.

Original oil paintings

My beautiful oil paintings are on stretched archival canvas. I use high quality pigments bound with alkyd resin.

Alkyd paintings are referred to as oil paintings. They are extremely durable and they look exactly like oil paintings.

I have been painting with alkyd paints for around thirty years. I am very pleased with this media.

original watercolor paintings

Most of my watercolor paintings are on Aquabord. (This is the correct spelling.) It is a hardboard with an archival Kaolin clay applied to the hardboard.

When the painting is dry, I apply several coats of a protective UV spray. Then the painting should be framed without glass.

Watercolor paintings on watercolor paper need to be matted and framed under glass.
