Circular Watercolor Animals...Bam!

Here's a couple of late night/early morning watercolors of a Japanese macaque (or snow monkey) and a desert tortoise (or dirt turtle :-). after painting them I decided they needed to be more circular, so I cut them in such a manner as that. I plan on doing many more of these circle animals, but you know how that goes. We will see.

Campsite in the Rain

My latest commission piece for friend Maria. She's titled it Peace within the Storm. Had a lot of fun painting this one. She gave me a list of things she wanted in the campsite, like the type of truck (a blue '91 chevy), the three dogs (two boxers and an american bulldog), and the half eaten hot dog and nun chucks. I got to add whatever else I wanted. The raindrops, which I anticipated to be the hardest part, ended up only taking about 20 minutes and being pretty fun once I got the hand movement down. Its acrylic on canvas, 14" x 18".
