New work

Still working on it but everything is coming together.I'm having fun with the wooden fences. Last year there were two big white horses kept in this area, too bad they weren't still here for this photo shoot.

New Drawing

Here is the drawing for the next painting. I think I made the hands a little small, but I'll deal with that in the painting. I want to get some really good stuff ready for the Sixth and Main Coffee House show. That will be on the 15th, so I have a little time. I have some framing to do too. Oh, and I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Shaker Hills of Mercer County

It's wild looking at the pic without the figure and then with it, but here it is. I adjusted some of the colors to try and capture the setting sun colors more. I also worked on the fence in the yonder some. I like using yonder when I can. I think I will put this one in the Shelbyville show. It's another tiny 8x10 incher.

Happy Thanksgiving

I thought I already posted this pic, but I haven't so here it is. In the actual painting I have already added the figure, but this is the only pic I have. I also richened the colors a little where they aren't so bled, but that I shall show later. Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving!

New drawing

Here is the drawing for the next painting. It's going to be on a 8x12 inch canvas so I had to shrink the drawing down a lot. I might do a bigger version of it later. I like doing the small ones, but I think the next one will have to be bigger just to give me a break.

Crow's Landing

I just found out tonight that "Crow's Landing", which showed in the "Haunted" exhibit in Harrodsburg in October sold. It was ran by the Arts Council of Mercer County (ACMC). This a lousy picture of it, but it sold so I guess it's alright.

Light

I thought I was done, but now I think I may work a little more on those trees in the background. Funny how you can look at something for hours but when you see it in photo form, it looks a little different. I find mistakes like this often. Some say you can look at drawings in the mirror and see mistakes you wouldn't see otherwise, but that has never worked for me.

New Painting

I went form working a really big painting to a very small painting. This is about 8 by 12 inches. It's another painting from the Shakertown shoot. I feel I'm getting a better grasp of the fields.

October Fields

Finally done with this one.....http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cliffs-Art/131025403608120 for now. I think I will put this one in the art show in Shelbyville this December. It's a big one, 2 x 4 feet. Getting this one right has been quit a chore, but I'm really happy with it now. I just posted it on Facebook and I thought maybe I should put a link here for there. Confused? here it is. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cliffs-Art/131025403608120

Louisville Show

Still working on the new piece, but I wanted to mention the show in Louisville I'm part of. I took this painting, Haunting Waters. Actually, I thought I sold it already, I've sold enough pieces and made enough, it's hard to keep track of what all I got, AND they are spread around the state. Not bragging, just saying it's hard to keep track of everything. This is one of my favorites and it has Malissa in it. The show is for a good cause, here is the poster for it. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151152817569597&set=o.291200090892084&type=1&theater

New art show

I went to Shelbyville KY yesterday and talked with Katheryn, a very nice lady who makes an awesome hot chocolate. She works at the Sixth and Main Coffee house and it turns out that I will be having an Art Show there in December. December wa

s a really good month for me last year, as I sold four paintings at Good Foods, and two others, one as a side effect of the Good Foods showing. Katheryn was very nice and talked with me and Malissa about all the details. Actually, I went into shy mode and after looking at the walls, I was going to email Katheryn later about hanging some art but Malissa jumped right on in there and helped me get this art show. She was wheelin and dealin man! I'd be soooo lost without her it's not funny. And if you find yourself on the way to or from Louisville and stop at Shelbyville, stop at Sixth and Main, it's a good place. They have good books too. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sixth-and-Main-Coffeehouse/188171458742

New painting

Not done yet, but getting closer. Bobby (the cat) seems to like it. but I have a few things to iron out. I was happy about the shawl, I was a little nervous on how to make it work, but I think it does for the most part.I darkened the field she is in to make the field in the back ground pop more, but I think I put too much yellow in the trees.I was happy with the bracelet too, but I still have more detail work to do on it. I think it will be really good when it's all done.
