Hey everyone!

Sorry not to be on in a while, I've been on vaction in New Mexico and Flagstaff. Me and my wife danced with some Pueblo Indians, went on a lama hike, and rode a train through the flooded state of Iowa and yes, it's bad! We saw people trying to save thier homes by laying sand bags down to keep out the water. We saw other houses below water, a real mess. No global warming heh? Anyway, we visited many art galleries, the ones in Taos were not as cool as they used to be. There was one really good gallery called the Old World Fine Art gallery
Look at the art of Antonio Arllanes. I'm not really a fan of abstract art, but I loved his! It's worth checking out. I will blog about my new painting that I've finished in a day or two. Everyone take care and have fun!

As the Leaves Fell She Wept

Well, I finished my piece titled As the Leaves Fell She Wept. Two weeks ago we did a modeling session with this great model. She is one of those people who impresses you more and more every time you meet them, both as a person and a model. Anyway, I haven't done much from up above pics like this. When I took the picture I was only eight feet above her or so standing on a large rock, but this looks much higher to me and I like the effect.
I have been doing paintings of another model for about the last year and she is great too, but this will give me a chance to do someone a little different and with a darker skin tone. I had practically memorized the other girl's skin tone, so this will be a change. The hair color is more reddish brown, where the other one has really dark brown hair, so this will be a new challenge too. I guess I should start on another painting so everyone have fun and take care!
Oh, and I made this little phrase about this painting "The scene is of a model sitting while remembering the summer days that brought her so much joy, but now she feels the day, and the warmth of the season slip away. Will her joy continue to slip away as the darkness comes and the season changes? Or will she embrace the darkness and cold to thrive in a different season of nature? I bet the latter"! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmalissa0

Prayer Among the Trees II

Prayer Among the Trees II, this is the painting I finished last week. This is one of those, where every new work just happens to be your favorite one. That's what I going through right now. That's a good sign I think, because then I feel like I'm improving my craft. I am having more fun with paint than I used to, where I usually do a lot of color pencil. I feel that my style stays the same with both mediums, so I'm glad that I enjoy my performance in both. Every one take care and have fun! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmalissa0

An update

Well, one day and I'm back. I thought I'd just show more of what I'd done last night. I filled in a lot of color, now I can begin more detail work. I just went through some of the photos from this modeling session, and I can't wait to do more of these paintings. I think they will be very nice. I actually enjoy doing ground work, all the leaves brown and green, and tree roots and sticks. It can be very fun. Everyone take care and have fun! Cliff
