YELLOW HOUSE IN KEY WEST OLD TOWN

Yellow House, Key West, 10 x 8 inch ink, watercolor and colored pencil painting by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

I sketched this conch house in Key West's Old Town from the balcony of the Eden House hotel a couple of weeks ago.  I hadn't been to the Florida Keys since I was 11.  I enjoyed it then, but I appreciated the experience a lot more this time.

EVERGLADES ALLIGATOR

Everglades Alligator (detail), 8 x 17 inch ink drawing by George C. Clark

I tried to sketch this gator in the Florida Everglades last week, but he wouldn't hold still long enough to be drawn.  I photographed him, and did this drawing from my photographs.  I actually drew the whole gator across a 2-page spread of my 8 x 8.5 inch inch sketchbook.  It is on a single sheet of paper, but the middle of it is folded and stitched into the binding of the sketchbook.  I won't be able to flatten the drawing out to be properly photographed or framed until I cut the sketchbook's binding apart, which I fully intend to do, but just not yet.

BEHIND THE SCUOLA DI SAN ROCCO IN VENICE

Behind the Scuola di San Rocco, Venice, 12 x 9 inch watercolor by George C, Clark    SOLD

I went to the Scuola di San Rocco to see the amazing giant murals by Tintoretto.  Afterward I painted this little watercolor of the canal behind the building.
