New Painting Windblown

Here is my newest work, maybe the first of the year, I'm not sure. Here the model is against a tree at the UK Arboretum. I've actually wanted to do this painting for a year or two, but wanted to do it at the right time. I may do some more out of the woods style paintings, but I don't think I want to get away from nature. Not too much. I just want something a little different. Here I got to play with the sunlight more than usual, it was fun! I may do some indoor paintings next. For the next post, I'll show some work I had to do to get this one right. Sanding and everything! Take care and have fun!

Morning of Reflection

Good news, I just sold another painting, Morning of Reflection, to my friend and very talented and respected artist Patrick Lynch and his wife Valerie. I was happy to have them purchase this one. It's nice to sell a painting but when another painter like Patrick buys one, that's a huge compliment. He's very good, everyone check out his site at http://www.beautifulpast.net/ That's them in the photo above, they have a neat house too. I'm almost done with my next painting and I'll be back soon. Cheers.

New Painting

Hey everyone! I've been working on this one for quiet a while. This is Robin at the Tom Dorman Nature Sanctuary in Garrard county. I wanted a picture of her on this rock and it worked out pretty good. After I got it done, I decided it needed more so I added a Recorder to add to the mood as well as the visuals of this piece. Heh, it was also nice to do a painting with more leg. She has great legs, so I needed to make sure to do more paintings with them. I was also happy with the hillside. Sometimes it's hard to make a hill seem as steep as it really is, but I got it in this painting. I think this is my third try to get this painting right. The other two, besides other problems, didn't have the hill right. This being titled, "A Song in the Woods," is my first paintng in 2010. Hope you enjoy!
