This is another favourite painting of mine.. Watercolour is an unforgiving medium and often I achieve results quite by accident. I like the way I've achieved the sun's reflection on the water.

I call this "Reclining Lady" - at least for the time being. I love finding natural pieces of nature that seem as if they've been sculpted.

I don't know what it is about this photograph (which I took on a Seattle street), but it fascinates me.

This is one of my favourite water colour paintings of my own. There is a mistake in the painting, which I can rectify, but prefer to let be. Surprisingly, nobody who has seen this painting has noticed it.. LOL

My beloved Brownie in his puppyhood days.

I won't call this a sketch, it's more like painting with my pencil. I loved doing her eyes, especially.

The Moon and Her Reflection


The Moon traversing
The vast dark sky – alone
In her own world
Chanced upon her own vision
Reflected on the cloudy face
Of a pond –
In wonder, for she knew not
Who this beauteous apparition was,
The Moon asked of her own reflection:
O beautiful one, who are you?
Why are you so beautiful?
Her reflection replied:
O Moon, I am you
I am beautiful, because you are beautiful.
