Title or Location: Music on Broad Street
I've made a series of small paintings of street musicians which I hope to exhibit later this year at Gallery UNO, but wanted to make something larger. I came across this guitarist on Broad Street in Seaford and knew I wanted to paint him. The rest of the composition, including the woman is made up although the dog is based on one that comes into my local. By combining them I hope to convey something more than a simple illustration of a musician. The story is for the viewer to make up.

Title or Location: Buddies
Buddies is a watercolor done on textured watercolor board. The substrate gives the painting a "fuzziness" that softened the scene.It was a such a heart softening situation. A boy and his dog, the peacefulness of sleep, and a furbaby flashing his toe beans are irresistible.
