Studio Pics/New work

Working on the new piece. I'm using Color Pencil again. I just had a little time to work today so this is all I have, but my wife got pics of me working. I look like hell, I know, but I give up on that. Hope you like the artwork though:)

New Drawing

Drawing for the next painting. It's of Robin at Waveland. Not sure I got her likeness down as much as I want, but it's what I have for now. I'll get her when I start my color pencil I'm sure. I'm looking forward to doing this one a lot. Oh, and Waveland is a historic site South of Lexington. Check it out, it's a nice place just outside the city. http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/lexington/wav.htm

Sundown in the Fields

All right, I had a lot of life creeping in lately, so this one took a while to finish. Here it is though, I'm calling it Sundown in the Fields. Not always easy coming up with titles. Pretty happy with this one, I'm working on the drawing for the next one, but I wanted to get this one out for everyone to see. I'm really happy working with the Color Pencils. They allow me to work in finer details. Everyone tale care and have fun!

New Art

Here are five steps of the work I'm currently working on. I'm not done, but I'm getting close. Color Pencil really is the medium I'm most comfortable with.I do the work on Black mat board, I really hope they never stop making this stuff!  Fields are still kind of new to me, so I hope I do a better job on this one than my last couple. Skies are hard to do in Color Pencil, but I feel I left out just enough to not make it so hard. In my reference picture there is a lot more sky. The fences and buildings are really fun to do. It's a little change from the usual rocks and tress. Maybe it's a good piece for Spring/Summer time. Everyone take care and have fun!

Sorry folks. The blog entry about the Gallery Hop was meant to be seen Friday. Blog Spot decided to change their format and give everyone two blogs for some reason. I posted it on the other, thinking it was this one, because I used to have just one, and no one saw it. So Gallery Hop is over, all is said and done, and I have to figure out how to navigate through these changes they decided was a good idea. Uggg!

Gallery Hop

I forgot today is Gallery Hop. If anyone is near Market street tonight, stop by Christ Church Cathedral. I have two paintings there. I might even be there. I will stop by but probably check out the other exhibits around town. Hopefully it will be a good night.

New Drawing

The drawing for my next painting. It's Britney at Shaker town. I'm going to tackle this one in Color Pencil. The fields are still new to me and I've painted them a few times, but didn't do as well as I had hoped. Maybe this time I'll get it done right. I think this is one of my favorite drawings of Britney too. I've been working on the barrel for a while and look forward to using my Color Pencils again.
