Painting is like therapy, right?

So I've been painting since some crap happened in my life and I have only sporadically painted. I tend to paint when I'm feeling a bit crazed or stressed or sad. It's my version of therapy when I can't actually go. The painting above is the coast of Maine that my partner sent me photos of from a trip he took in better days.

I wanted to figure out painting reflections on water. I like some of it!

The first painting I did that I was trying to emulate a painting I had seen in a store.

I really love watercolors and used watercolor pencils and salt for this one. And tape. Lots of well placed tape.

Besides painting I doodle a lot. My partner hates photographs so I drew him a caricature instead. Love of my life does not have that long of legs but would read books this big if we could get our hands on them.

I don't have a dog for dog tax or a cat for cat tax. So accept my humble to apologies and I'm trying to rectify that situation eventually.
