Tonala Cat – Missy
Tonala-style Cat “Missy”. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 22cm).
Missy inspired my love of Tonala-style pottery and artwork. My parents bought the pottery version of Missy while on vacation in Mexico. She has graced the fireplace hearth ever since.
Holly Market
Holly Market. Watercolor on paper. 14″x9″
This cheerful market is located about a mile north of my home. Older neighborhoods in Denver once had these family run stores every couple miles and many have disappeared as neighborhoods change and gentrify. I love the brick exterior, the yellow color, and community notices.
Buoys on a Fence
Buoys on a Fence. Watercolor on paper. 13″x6″ (34cm x 16cm).
In land-locked Colorado you don’t expect to see buoys but here they were. Someone had strung these colorful buoys on their fence facing the alley. Ahoy there matey!
Alley Artifacts #9
Alley Artifacts #9. Watercolor on paper. 7.5″x11″ (19cm x 29cm).
It’s Autumn and I see yellow and orange everywhere. So each of the images in this painting has some orange in it. Although the super cool custom van is slightly less fluorescent, it’s still a very bright, cheerful orange. As always each image is something I see while I’m walking around my Denver neighborhood.
Tonala Hummingbirds
Tonala-style Hummingbirds. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 21cm). With a beautiful poem by Emily Dickenson.
Tonala Dolphin – Tomas
Tonala-style Dolphin, “Tomas”. Watercolor on paper. 12”x8” (30cm x 21cm).
Tonala Cat – Pedro
Tonala-style Cat, “Pedro”. Watercolor on paper. 8”x6” (20cm x 15cm). The pottery original this is based on is a little different in design than most Tonala cats. I like how human his face looks and the overall design has a lot more going on (love the deer).
As Pedro says, “Love is at the root of all good things.”
Alley Artifacts #8
Alley Artifacts #8. Watercolor on paper. 8″x11″ (20cm x 29cm).
Yes You are Doing it Right #2
Watercolor on paper. 8″ x 8″ (20cm x 20cm). Something I can’t hear enough of during my day.
