Watercolor: Ikebana in a Shallow Bowl

Watercolor of a flower arrangement in a shallow bowl. Undated, but I'd guess late 60s when JLS was taking an ikebana course

Graystone Inn, Wilmington, NC

Graystone Inn, Wilmington, NC. For Amy and Scott's wedding, 16 May 1998.

The Learning Curve-Still

JLS found another trove of art a short while ago. I'm going to start this series with a cartoon RTH apparently did for a Navy newsletter called "The Learning Curve". I'm guessing these were done while we were in Japan, in the mid-60s. There are six of these, and the style  is consistent across them. The only other cartoons that I'm aware of that he did were for family Christmas cards.

Self-Portrait (repost)

I've posted this photo before, but it seemed a nice one to end with. I've come to the end of the material that I want to share here. It's possible I'll find more pieces that are worthy of the collection, and if so, I will add them.

This marks the end of my regular posting. RTH always told his photography students that the secret to taking great photos was "you throw enough mud at the wall, and some of it will stick." He got a lot to stick, but there was a lot to sort through. I've enjoyed going back through all of his art. I hope you liked it too.
