Wetlands

New Art Incoming

Here is the first in a series of new art created over the winter from my studio in Florida.

Pictured here is Wetlands. This piece is a watercolor on canvas, sized at 18″x36″. I like how the colors turned out in this one.

Visit my online gallery for more information on this piece.

Joseph Yonke Art

This guy!

Some of you may remember my grandson Joseph as I’ve written about him here in the past. Some of you have met him in person. For those of you who don’t know him, he and I have been working at art together since he was little. He pursues his art while going to Penn State as a full-time student in the School of Communications, where he takes on a lot of extracurricular responsibilities. He has managed to accomplish a lot over the past year with his art, and we could not be prouder of him.

In October, he organized a successful solo art exhibition. And, at Penn State, he was recently featured in the Daily Collegian.

Finally, while doing all of that, he put together this web site.

I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do.

Look What Was in the Time Capsule

I’ve been a member of the Deep Creek Lake Yacht Club at Turkey Neck for a long time. Twenty-one years ago, a group of members gathered up items and stored them away in a time capsule to open in 2020. After the pandemic delayed the opening by a year, the Club finally cracked it open in August. Much to my surprise, a small piece of my art was inside the capsule. Below is a display they made with some of the items, where you’ll see the small work of art alongside a closer look at the image.

Sunset View

If you’ve talked to me about my work or have asked me to paint a specific scene, you might know that I do not work fast when painting from photographs or particular ideas that are not my own. The Queen Bee has been wanting me to paint a photo that she took at sunset for a few summers now. I finally got around to it here in this 48″x24″ work on canvas, Sunset View.
