English Boom
Did some final work on “English Boom” I’m going to enter it in a local gallery show. I’ll take another picture of it when its framed. Here is my first painting done on location. I only fell once in the process, but it was on sand, so my fall was broken and not my body.…

Fly Away
New oil painting from a photo I took while on a walk along the bridge connecting my island to the mainland. I rather like the way this one came out and there is even a lady I work with that may be interested in buying it once I have it framed. I’m going to let…

Cassie’s Flowers – Oil Painting
When I lost my little Floofster, Cassie, the pet company Chewy sent me a bouquet of flowers in sympathy. I was stunned at this. I have never heard of a company that did such a thing, but it was very touching. I decided to immortalize these blooms with a painting. At the front is her…

Oh! Henri!

Eggscape
Bit more work. Still looks like coconuts. So, it seems I am learning still lifes now. Probably a good thing to learn. My first assignment was eggs. I think I am going to do some more work on it, but here is what I have for now. It needs to dry a bit.

Whisper Mountains
A bit more added to this. Its starting to take shape. More changes. I think I like what the color changes and enlarging the right corner is doing to the overall atmosphere of the painting. Got some more work done on this one. Decided on the coyote for the animal in it. I still need…

Reflection
A local photographer (Michael Hellen) posted a picture of a heron he took. I asked for permission to paint it and he gave it to me. The following is the progression of the painting as I work on it including Michael’s original photograph. I was able to get a lot more work done on the…
