Bobby Mulnix

This is my friend Bobby.  He would have been 52 years old this month.  I recently found out that he died twenty some  years ago at the age of 30.  He was a dreamer and worked all his short life to become a pilot.  He accomplished his dream participating in a short lived career.   He died in his sleep.  The coroner said it was a heart attack.  No drugs or abnormalities were found in his body. He was tethered to this earth for such a short time then flew off to be were he most wanted to be a dreamer in the clouds of our passing.
This is a watercolor pencil painting on canvas approximately 12" by 16".  The painting will be given to his mother as a gift of my condolences for the loss of her son.

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.

Pretty in purples and pinks

I love painting water.  It makes everything in my mind feel surreal.  Maybe it is the mirror image or the color. I do not know.  This is a water color painting on canvas.  I did not use the pencils because of the need to be more free with the colors.  Hope you like it.

Fall Flowers

This is some type of fall flower I painted from a picture a friend of mine took.  I really liked the colors and how it turned out.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Again, it is a water color on canvas picture.  The original picture was taken by, Emily Hansen.

Water Color Water Lilly

This water color water Lilly is a 16" x 20".  It looks pretty translucent to me.  I used no water color pencils on this work.  I did the technical work with a brush rather than the pencil.  Don't know if I like this or not.  Oh well you be the judge.  It feels strange not being in  Art Prize this year.  I like not having the stress but still am struggling a little with my inability to participate because of the stress.  Well I guess it is the way it is.

Changing Colors

Fall is on its way.  I am not real thrilled about this but I do like the colors.  This is a watercolor painting on canvas.  I like the red and orange leaves.  Hope you like this picture too.
