How to paint REALLY loose...
Ok...I found a way to paint really loose...heh, heh...I just paint a tiny (say, 5 x7") watercolor. Then... I crop a tiny portion of it, just like this. Duh!
Ok, at least I am trying. The full painting is here.

St. Patrick's Cathedral
Elizabeth, NJ is my American hometown. Although I was born and raised in Portugal, when I came to the US, this is where I first arrived - after JFK International - in 1974 and where I lived for several years. So it feels like home. This landmark Cathedral is on 2nd St. in the Elizabethport area.

North Shore, Hawaii
Today, I was rummaging through some photos from some years ago, and I found a scene that made me grab the brush. This is a quick sketch that I clocked at 34 minutes, a little record for me. Some times…rarely for me…speed lends a little freshness and spontaneity, which I think worked in this case.
