Among the Trees and Stones

Still working out the kinks of this one but I'm getting closer. I wound up paintings the skirt and light brownish color then putting more reds and oranges on top. Have to work on the shadows more. I worked on the model and the trees a little more too. I Should have this one done soon. Everyone take care and have fun!

Among the Trees and Stones

Well this is what I've been doing with the drawing you seen a few weeks back. I've been a little slow with this, I've been battling and losing a fight with a sinus infection. Last week was really rough, but tonight I did a lot of work, but it's not pictured here. I just set it down. Working on the skirt has been hard. Since I paint on a black background, black somehow eats orange. I have to put down a lot of orange before it starts to show unlike the other colors. I add lots of Yellow but it disappears in black too. I'll keep working on it and hopefully I'll make huge strides by next week. Take care and have fun!

Sold: The Stream

I was doing an art change out at Broadway Clay in Frankfort and found out that The Stream had sold during December. That made me really happy because that's my first sell in Frankfort. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Pleasant Hill

I don't know if this is the best picture, but it's done. Me and Malissa went walking out in the woods at Shaker town on Thanksgiving day and I Color Penciled this pic of her. Funny how warm it was that day.

New Drawing

Here is a new drawing for my next painting. I drew the head first on 8x11 inch paper and realized it wasn't going to be big enough, so I cut off the head and tape it to some 11x14 inch paper. I've never been good at size control when it comes to drawing so tape has been a good friend to me over the years. The Color Pencil piece below is basically done, but I haven't got a good picture of it yet. Everyone take care and have fun!

Shaker Pathway

Working on this one piece of my wife when we were hiking at Shaker Town on Thanksgiving day. I'm more used to rocks leaves and trees to help me define the landscape. Struggling a little with this one, but it will work out eventually. I found the strong light fun to explore. Oh, and this is another Color Pencil piece. I also want to mention more people has been reading this blog lately. Thanks everyone for your support. It's good to know you guys are there!
