ROMANIA
Okay, this was my first water painting, and may I say I impressed myself? I love the reflections and the way the light dances on the water. The resource I worked off of, a photograph the client gave me from when her son was there, needed fixing. I added more buildings and cleaned them up.…

Okay, not my norm. But when I drew this, I wasn’t normal! I got the resource for this pastel from a little tiny black and white picture in the Rolling Stone mag (I own this pastel and any prints I sell, are not for profit…the joys of working off other people’s work). I…

The mural measures 12’x5’2”, small by most of my murals standards, but it is in an awkward place, about 4’ from the ground on a wall that had quite a bit of texture, had a large built-in counter in…
