La Romita bell

The bell shown above is one located at La Romita School of Art. It sits just above the entrance to the School's art studio which was once the chapel of a Capuchin monetary. Maybe I will be there again someday and get to ring this bell. La Romita is a wonderful place to visit and study Italian art as I did in 2007.

                 The Red Barn...A watercolor by Tom Herrin

I have decided this watercolor was my best effort in 2013. I hope you agree with me.

 Please continue to enjoy my blog  by coming back soon for a visit.

Red Apple...First Painting of 2013

    What you see here was painted on my new ipad.
    I am afraid this is a good look at the future. Brush
    painting may be a thing of the past??

My CezanneE like Apples

I will never understand this blog machine. Sometimes it will let you post text above the painting and sometimes it want. Oh well! that is just what you have to put up with. This painting is 12x12 inches done in one day at Amy Imler's studio. I like it.  

La Romita Olive Trees

This painting shows how to use cool colors in a small watercolor. I painted the scene this weekend as a painting showing how a limited palette and cool colors work together. I plan to use this painting to show my watercolor classes how to pant with a limited palette and cool colors. I hope they get it.

Dasies 101

This is my first try at painting daises. I have a larger version underway, will post when I get it done.

Jack and Willie

Jack and Willie were surprised to have me take their picture. I painted them from this picture in acrylic and was really pleased with the outcome. I will post later.
