Black Figure

I've been working on this Halloweenish painting. It's inspired by the Black Sabbath song Black Sabbath. A friend of mine modeled for it at Anglin Falls, and it was a cool picture. She blends right in in terms of color, but she seems almost alien to the landscape otherwise. Very Creepy. Ghostly if you will. It's a good time of the year for this. It's not done but getting close. Everyone take care and have fun!

TV time!

Here's my big TV shot. We didn't get to speak, but at least our Art was on the Teli!

Getting up at four a.m. wasn't too bad. Everyone was fairly awake. You may have missed me because they just scanned around the room and talked to just one person. The segment where I was in the bottom picture above, I was actually in the scene for a few minutes but still didn't get to speak. I haven't contacted LEX aboot better pictures, I think you get the idea here though. Now that's for the barrels. The Creative art show will be tomorrow and hopefully everything I have in it sales! Doubtful, but still, one can hope! Everyone take care and have fun!

At Days End

Finally, I got a decent picture of this one. This is At Days End. This Color Pencil piece is based on a hill top in the Pleasant Hill Shaker Town near Harrodsburg KY. This is one of the better Field scenes I've done. It's a great place if you haven't been. Me and Malissa got a room here at Shaker town a few weeks back and we came to this spot to play music in the moon light. I was really glad to have this model here. She's a great person and with the way we get along, the photo shoot was really fun. I'm also supposed to have some TV time Thursday morning on 18 LEX with Lee Cruz. Not sure the exact time. I have to be there at 4:00 in the morning so we shall see how that goes. The TV thing will be about the barrel auction for the barrel I painted a while back. It's at the Hopewell museum in Paris KY, so hopefully (no pun intended...really) they will talk about the Creative Harvest Festival show that's on Friday. Our art is on the walls, so it seems like it would have to be talked aboot. We'll see. Hopefully this will get me more fans, more publicity and more sales! I like that idea. Well, everybody take care and have fun!

Gallery Hop in Lexington

Still working on the Color pencil piece. And a acrylic painting. But I did want to take time to say there will be a Gallery Hop here in Lexington Friday September 16th, 5-8pm. I have the above paintings at Christ Church Cathedral. The top is Two Robins by a Stream and the lower one is The Approaching Wave. Both are acrylic and 2 x 4 feet. The bottom one, The Approaching wave is a rare non-Kentucky piece. Me wife modeled on Stinson Beach outside of San Fransisco. I believe this is where Jerry Garcia lived. I should have the Color Pencil piece on here soon. Everyone take care and have fun and if you are out tomorrow, come by and see me. Everyone take care and have fun!

The Creative Harvest Festival

Hey Everyone! I just delivered these to the Hopewell Museum in Paris Ky yesterday. My friend Patrick Lynch has work in there too! http://www.beautifulpast.net/ The barrel that I painted will be auctioned off there the day before the Creative Harvest Show. That's the show these two paintings will be in. It's a very busy month! If you want to see the poster for the show it's here http://www.hopewellmuseum.org/ Just scroll down a little and you will see it. Everyone take care and have fun! Oh, and I've made some changes to my Etsy shop. Hope everyone will like it. Take care and have fun!
Ps, I forgot to mention The top painting is Hauting Waters. It's acrylic on board and my Wife modeled for it. The bottom one is Sittin' Pretty. It's Color Pencil on Board and a good friend named Britney modeled for that one.

Label for event in Paris

Oh, and here is one of the labels I painted for the event in Paris. It supposed to be beside my barrel. There supposed to be a local celebrity sign it next to my signature (Hoping for Ashly Judd!). I've gotten better over the years at painting and drawing, but my writing continues to get much-much worse:(

New painting

This is a not so good of this painting. I'm not done yet but I wanted to post what I did have done this week. It's another Color Pencil piece, it looks pretty good actually, but there has been no sun this week and it's hard to get a good picture without it. I'll post the full painting next week. To be Continued....

Drawing for new painting

Also had to share the drawing for the next painting. Well, color pencil piece I mean. Had some problems in the drawing, but worker them out once I added color. For some reason I miss mistakes in black and white that I later see in color. I jumped on this one pretty quick. Should have a pic of a more finished piece up this week.

Sitt'n Pretty

I've had this done for a while, I just hadn't posted it yet. Not much different than the last pic, just a little more filled out and polished. The title took like 2 minutes to come up with. Usually that's really hard to do. I'm going to build a frame just for it now, and one without glass. Glass takes away from the image. You can try the reduced glare glass, but it didn't do much for me:(
