After our springtime trip to Turkey, I have been working on painting from some of the thousands of photos that we shot. The trouble is there are so many interesting places and people that I have trouble narrowing down the images that I want to create. It is a great problem to have and here is some typical Turkish men walking down a street.
Entered three new works in one of the leading watercolor shows... it will be hosted this year by our group here in Texas — the Southwestern Watercolor Society. I ran into this character at the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. He seemed to have an attitude like a wanna-be outlaw.
This was a fun little painting that I have decided to include in the "white elephant exhange" at the Southwestern Watercolor Society party tomorrow. Like when I did the painting of the kids in the rain, this one gave me a good opportunity to use some of the rainy day observations and find some new subject matter.
