Welcome

Blue and Green Trees

I found I could say things with colors that I couldn’t say in any other way — things that I had no words for. (Georgia O’Keefe)

Welcome to my website where you can view selected samples of my personal passion for watercolor painting: landscapes, cityscapes and seascapes (also some landscapes of Puerto Rico, the Greek Islands, Morocco, and Venice, and some impressions of New York City), abstracts, flowers, plants and trees, wildlife (birds, animals, fish, and pets too), still life, Venetian Carnival costumes and masks, figure studies and portraits, traditional Chinese painting, as well as some paintings done with watercolor pencils and crayons, and more.

I have included some of my favorite quotes about art, artists, creativity, color, painting in general, watercolor painting in particular, parrots and dogs, forests and gardens, as well as miscellaneous irresistible philosophical issues.

Browse awhile, enjoy your visit, come back again to see what’s new!

Artwork of My Family

See samples of the artwork of my family — my grandfather, my daughter, and my son (and much of the inspiration for my return to painting).

I have included a sampling of the paintings of the American Landscape Impressionist Artist, my grandfather August H. O. Rolle, on a separate page.
