The finished Aquaboard

Who's There?


Here's the result of the demonstration on how to paint on Ampersand's Aquabord.  It's 11" x 14"  After painting I sealed it with a spray coat of Golden Artist's Archival Varnish and 2 painted coats of Golden's UVLS liquid varnish.  No mat or glass are needed with these sealed Aquabord paintings.

Demonstration of painting on Aquabord

Tomorrow, Sat., Jan. 28, 2012, I will be demonstrating techniques for painting on Aquabord using watercolors at Island Gallery West in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island.  Time is from 10am to noon.  Address is 5368 Gulf Blvd.  I will be working from this photograph I took at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg in April, 2010.

Paintings in the Art in Bloom Show

Thank all of you who came to the opening reception for the Karen Black traveling exhibition "Blossoms II" and to the "In Full Bloom" show.  Susanna Spann did I great job of selecting a great variety of work from ten local artists, some of them nationally recognized.  In my opinion, "In Full Bloom" is possibly an even better show than the Blossom II exhibit.    I  feel privileged to be included in a show with with such talented artists. Here are the seven paintingsI have hanging in the Art in Bloom Show..
