Hyperrealism the essence of Cullen

This is a watercolor pencil painting on canvas.   I take care of this young man two days a week.  He brings so much joy to my heart.I will give this painting to his mother for christmas.  I so enjoyed painting it.  As is normal for me to present this painting in a hyper realistic way.  It is indeed his essence.

Bears

This is a watercolor painting.  It is 16x20 and was done because I like bears.  Some days I do my painting just for fun.  A lot of time I paint to do random acts of kindness.  These paintings are usually for someone who has lost someone or for some other reason.  All in all I need some times to do things for fun and or there beauty.

Jeffrey Standfest and Ruppert

This is a watercolor painting on canvas of a young hero named Jeff Standfest .  He  and his dog died in Afghanistan in 2010. The dog, Ruppert P 390  died a month before Jeff. Ruppert saved Jeff's life at that time.  Jeff was working with another dog when he was also killed by and IED.  RIP Jeff.

Reflections on a pond

Reflections on a pond are always so beautiful.  I love the water and the colors of this painting.  Some times things just work and this just feels like it works.  It is a 12" by 16"  watercolor pencil painting on canvas.   I woulds love to sell it.  It would be matted in a 16" by 20" matte.  I would charge a mere $125.00.  I need the money for Christmas.

Baseball Fan's

I have been going to our local Whitecaps games with my grandson lately.  We have had a great time so I decided to paint a few of the guys pictures.  This is Nick Avila a right handed picture for the Whitecaps.   He is number 20.  In the photo I got of him he has mustache and little goatee.  He pitched the night I took the picture but I did not have a real good shot of him.  The next time I saw him it was cut off.  Oh well this will have to do.  He looks like his cousin, C. Alex Avila the catcher of the Detroit Tigers.  I happened to talk to him at a game and he was asking about the pictures I had given to some of the other players.  He was so nice I decided to paint one of him.  He is a year older than his cousin.  He was very nice to talk to.

   This is a picture of Ernie Young the manager of the Whitecaps.  Every time I have photo-graft him he has a very stern face.  Ernie has been coaching the White Caps for two years now.  The Whitecaps are a farm team for the Detroit Tigers.  I have truly enjoyed to games this year.  Both of these watercolor paintings will be given to the people they represent,
