Liguria Italy Landscape Painting

Charcoal Pencil/Watercolor

This ocean view road is flanked by cliffs, dotted with tunnels, overlooked by centuries old architecture.  Maybe could have excersized a little restraint with the Aureolin, but how, once captivated by the yellow glow?

Donated to a fundraiser, this image near the Quakertown train station was free sketched, then washed. I always have a slightly different perspective when someone asks me to do a painting as opposed to doing it for myself. It's good excersize.

New Jersey, Lambertville, Along the Raritan Canal Victorian Village Painting

New Jersey, Lambertville, Along the Canal, Victorian Village House Portrait
Watercolor with Opaque White
9x12
Done from my photos, the path along the Raritan Canal is a favorite for a stroll or bike ride.
I struggled with it and am posting because a) there are some nice areas and b) I worked on it all day. A prolific, successful artist once answered, in response to the question "Do you ever create pieces you don't like?" and he answered "Yes, but you'll never see them". I don't know if it's a good idea to post everything. On the other hand there have been times I've posted things I didn't care for and they've been favorites. Why not let people see the process?
All paintings are available at the email in introduction
