Autumn Repose


Here is my newest painting Autumn Repose. In this painting Robin the model, sits under some bushes and trees down at the Waveland Historic site just South of Lexington. I like the accessories used in this painting. The basket I got at Goodwill, and the hat I got at Family Dollar for....a dollar. It was really nice, just a little big. She had problems keeping off her eyes. I really liked the way it looked though. I bought the skirt last year at Dragon Con. I look forward to painting it again. Everyone take care and have fun!

Drawing for New Robin Painting

Hey everyone! This is my drawing for my next painting which I plan to start tomorrow. The other painting I just finished and I'll put it out here soon for all to see. You can see where I ran out of paper and taped another piece of paper on to complete my drawing. That's because the drawing was meant to be smaller, but I could never control the size of my drawings. Not really good anyway. When I was in art class drawing naked people I learned to do this, as we didn't' have much time to complete the drawing. I'd just rip me some paper from where ever I could find it, tape it and keep going. Sometimes I had to use paper of different colors, if I were out. Hope everyone has a good week, I'll put a pic of the other painting out here soon. Take care and have fun!

Hi everyone!

I just saw on my settings that I am getting some traffic from the people of Iran. I think that's awesome! I have known several people both from Iran and of Iranian descent, and they have all been very nice. It also might be worth noting, when I paint I listen to music, sometimes Bluegrass, sometimes Techno-Tribal, sometimes New Age music. But I also listen to Axiom of Choice and Niyaz. These bands play a mix of Middle Eastern music and rock music. I love that kind of music and I know some of the members of both bands are Iranian. I think Azam Alli was born in Iran but raised in India, I read that some where. I really lie music that has an Ancient aire to it. It helps me get into the mood for painting. But I love that I have people from around the world checking in on my art. Take care everyone!

Unfinished work

Hi everyone. This is where I am on this painting. Life keeps getting in the way of me painting, but it's coming along. Actually, this is from a day or two ago, I have a little more done than this, but I didn't get a picture today. I really liked this picture even though you can't see Robin's face. I bought this hat for a dollar an hour or so before the photo shoot. It turned out that the hat was too big for her head, but she worked with it, and everything turned out nicely. She's a real trooper.
