Peru

This was a large 14 x 24" watercolor painting commissioned by the person who took the picture.I really enjoyed the colorful costumes and in particular the Llama,...and yes, I did think it was a lamb.

Dr. Q

I have had people ask if I trace the image on the canvas and I actually don't have any issue with people doing that because painting is hard enough.I wanted to show just how messy it is at the begging and how the image starts to morph into the final piece.  

Although the photo I took had a slight smile, I had to add the big smirk because if you know the man he is always smiling and positive. It has been a great privilege to get to know him so well and I deeply appreciate what he does and his global mission. If you would like to find out more about it please go to this link

Thich Nhat Hanh

 I created this video to acquaint my audience with the technique I used to paint Thick Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist.I did a preliminary ink study in black and white and then I decided to enlarge it. The extended version can be found on my YouTube channel.#zen #buddhist #poet #thicknhathanh
