I made this painting after class one day in the heat of a summer afternoon. This shows the back entrance of the Heron Park Nature Center at Kiawah Island where I first taught my Basic Drawing and Watercolor classes.

Another painting with no pencil. During this time in Charleston, I was also teaching after school classes in architectural drawing, watercolor, and guitar at Ashley Hall where I eventually taught a sixth grade music class for one year. I did a couple of watercolors of the beautiful campus that the school purchased, alas, before scanners were readily at hand. But I will show below one more painting I made on Kiawah as a demo in class that demonstrated my release from pencil and signified a development in my ability.



Every Sunday I post a new painting and story behind the watercolors I made while touring as a singer songwriter. Follow the stories behind the paintings of these serialized posts by working your way up from the bottom.
