Series From Life

This 9"x12" ink and watercolor from the Harkrader 'Life' series (011008) was spontaneously executed from a 10 minute pose by two female models. A modeling and painting session is hosted on a local campus and organized privately by MB who manages the weekly sittings. Above painting is sold, but there are a omnibus of others available.

Paint My Historic Home

Harkrader recently finished painting an architectural (home) watercolor for a gentleman that made him a deal he could not refuse (if you only knew). This historic home in the East Main Street Historic District of a small New River Valley town is commonly known as the 'Junkin' House and is located in the same neighborhood Harkrader lived previous to moving to Roanoke. Due to a chain of interesting events, the watercolor was the result of the collectors request. This small 10" x 13" watercolor reminds one of some of Harkrader's early work when he rendered paintings of landscapes and street scenes of towns located around the New River Valley. The watercolor was delivered today.
