I dabbled in watercolors every now and again. You can see some of my paintings here

They're pretty crude and silly. I can do better. I actually did a really cool surreal one once along the lines of an Escher, but I don't have it on a computer file.

They're small, about 8" x 10". I just do them are thick art paper.

Years ago I used to paint with oils, although I never did anything worth keeping. I had more ambition than talent. laugh

Recently I became interested again and my sister talked me into using watercolors instead of oil so I tried it. I'm kind of surprised how nice watercolor paints can be. They come in tubes just like oil paint only their water soluable.

My sister did a great painting of my dog. I just now uploaded that picture to my site, it's at the very bottom of the page if you want to check it out. I actually have a lot of her pictures on my hard drive I might upload some more later.

She used to work in oil but now she works exclusivly in water.

I do portraits in leather (handtooled) and paint them sometime's, never tried on canvas yet, maybe something to try later on. Use to do muriels on walls too. (not tags or graffitti'seither.)

I love art, it's my way of expressing my feelings and show my love for leather work. My goal is to do a full size sculpture of some one, all in leather. Problem is finding someone to stand still for hours in sessions over a period of a couple of weeks.

Just for the record I put up some of my sister's watercolor paintings. She's the real artist. My stuff looks like kindergarten work in comparision.
