The Shack, Star Island
Pell house "The Shack" on Star Island (Isle of Shoals) pen & ink on 20" x 20" paper. Watercolor comes next. Loads of technical mistakes on this (some of which I frustratingly can't not-see whenever I look at it) but just as much learning from those errors to apply to another one. "Hang in there, little kitty!" More from Star Island.

Orchid
2017. Pen & ink and watercolor on 22" x 24" paper. I wanted to see what would happen if I made the image bleed to the edges (came from this sketchbook drawing). The colors started out pretty tame and got more wild and intense as I progressed. I kept thinking it wasn't working out so I tried pushing up the saturation levels until it suddenly all came together. More like this...
