Oil on Linen Panel|10" x 5"
Man, it’s good to be back. It’s hard to believe that the last time I really posted on this site was over two years ago. That’s crazy! I’ve been doing a lot of painting and it’s time to get back in the groove. So here…
Barnyard Rooster
Oil on Canvas Panel|8" x 6"
I had a few other chicken shots from 2011 and wanted to try this guy. I loved painting the high key colors on this one. The colors looks crazy if you focus on them but it works (I hope) as a whole. Well, this is…
Orange with Two Leaves
Oil on Canvas Panel|6" x 8"
I was running out of gas with the cows and saw this orange at our local grocery store. The orange color on this was so intense that I had a hard time mixing a color that was accurate.
Sunlit Cow
Oil on Canvas Panel|6" x 8"
Here is the last of the cows for the year. These were so fun to paint and I’ll be revisiting them in 2016!
Cows in a Field
Oil on Linen Panel|12" x 9"
Mixing it up a bit, here are two cows in a field. These guys were so much fun to paint and I’m loving the warm and cool grays when painting these cows.
Lovely Lane Chapel
Oil on Canvas Panel|6" x 8"
I wanted to revisit No. 320 from earlier in the year and redeem that awful painting. This one is just a little bit better. I’m gonna be posting daily through the end of the year to hit 100.
Bunny
Oil on Canvas|12" x 12"
Here’s the last painting I did during my workshop with James Richards. I felt a little goofy painting something like this during an event like that, but my daughter had requested a painting of “bunny” and I wanted it to be a good one. As…
Single Pomegranate
Oil on Linen Panel|6" x 6"
I’ve know for a while about “lost” edges but always get wound up when I’m painting and want things to be crisp and clear. I really tried hard to let the right side of the pomegranate disappear and have that line be more invisible. Compared…
Ranch Gate Road Tree
Oil on Canvas Panel|6" x 6"
This one is from my trip the California this summer. I was driving up this steep hill and loved the way the tree, power lines and shadows all worked together. Earlier I would have edited out the power pole/lines but I’m trying to work with…
Ashantilly Ave
Oil on Canvas Panel|8" x 6"
No. 323 is a painting of the little house we stayed at during our St. Simons trip. The afternoon light created a distinct shadow across the front which was fun to paint due to the color of the house.
