Black & White Watercolor By Anthony Quinn Done 9/7/1989 In Falls Church, Virginia / Part Of A Series


I did this black-and-white watercolor back in September, the 7th, 1989 to be exact in a series on many that also included a number in colors and sometimes only one color as I often did some portraits, too. It was fun, I had a working blast of creativity and it simply would not stop for this two-week period while my wife and daughter were off visiting her parents and I was working and coming home to an empty house where I would turn to my art pretty much each and every night as there was so much artistic energy stored and pent-up inside of me. It was a great period : a great release of so much creativity. I loved it, really I did.


I am glad to finally be bringing some of these to light as they have pretty much stayed inside these binders of mine and away from the light of day or anyone's gaze. These are all the same piece that I did seen from different angles and perspectives.


I did them on the computer paper that was given to me by someone that I worked with years ago - a really nice Asian man at Burka's Fine Wines & Spirits. I thank him now once again as they sure did come in handy and cost me nothing. I have used them well over the years and have a body of my work as well as my daughter's on them.



I will post this now and add to it as I go along. I hope that you enjoy it. Cheers and stay-tuned for more, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn


I love to draw.


I am now working on a series of quick portrait sketches of the people that I meet.


It's now Friday, March 23rd, 2012 here at home in northern Virginia at 9:11AM ( it's supposed to get into the eighties today! ) as I get ready to call my mom and then meet the Swedish friend of my next door neighbor before going off to work in Washington D.C. Cheers, TONY
