New painting

Here is work on the new painting. If you can't see it, the drawing is part of the album too. This was based on a pic of Malissa standing on the big Mountain outside of Gatlinburg Tennessee on the way to Cherokee North Carolina. The fog was thick, but I made it a little crazier in this piece. I thought this might work as a Halloween piece, but not the one that will go to the show in Harrodsburg. I'll talk more about that one tomorrow or Friday. I plan on this one to go to Broadway Clay on Frankfort next week. It's time I switch that art out. I've sold three pieces there so I have to keep it together there in our State Capital. They guy that runs it, a guy named Les, is a real cool guy. He's got real long white hair and a beard, and he is always covered with clay when I stop in. He covered with clay because he makes bowls and such on that spinning table thing.  Hopefully I'll get this one done fast so it can enjoy the Hallowed season! BOOOOOOO! Ok, that wasn't scary at all.

Remember this one?

This is a bad picture of this painting, but still. I'm re-doing it a little for that Haunted Show in Harrodsburg. It's looking better already, but I don't have a pic of the improvements yet. If you remember I did thios one last year about this time, but was never quit happy with it. I'm taking care of that now, I'll post some pics of the improvements in a day or two. Everyone have fun!

Crow's Landing

Here is the finished piece, "Crow's Landing". I couldn't get a good pic of it, or this is as good as it's gets. Really, in person, you have to walk close to see the detail on the face of the figure. There are other details in the photo and real life that you would have to loo to find. It's not in Harrodsburg for the "Haunted" exhibit they are having through the Mercer County Art Council. They have a real nice gallery space there that I had  not idea was there. I liked what they had and sometime this week I'll take another piece down there. I'm touching up another piece that I've worked on in the past, but I'll post that one later. It will have a GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crow's Landing

More work on the Halloween painting, "Crow's Landing". I thought I was going to pass out an hour or two ago and me eyes are burning, but hey, nothing happens when I do nothing. I added another Crow since last time, actually he, or she, is only about an hour old. I think I need some more strange things to put it over as "creepy". I do have the Crow skull. I want to get the creep factor going without going too far. I'll think more tomorrow, I have to deliver this Saturday. AAAAnd by the way, I was wrong. Last Friday in Paris we only did the Reception night for the Creative Harvest Festival, not the barrels. Tomorrow night the Reception for the barrels will happen, but the paintings will still be on the walls. I think that will produce a better chance for selling a piece. "Resting" is the painting in that one, and it won a ribbon for 2 dimensional piece. I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow or Friday. It's nice to get that.

Halloween pic

I'm trying to make the deadline for this Halloween show in mercer County. This is what I have so far, but it's a bad pic. That's Ok, this is just to give an idea of how it looks, I'm not done yet. I'm hoping to get just enough done to get in the show, and then continue to make it better. Sooo much to do and soo little time. I like the perspective of the figure for this one, I haven't done that before.

Lexington Gallery hop

Tomorrow(also Sept. 21st) I'll have this painting, Stream Walker, at the Christ Church Cathedral on Market Street. It's part of the Gallery Hop and it also runs from 5-8pm. Not sure when I'll be there, but I will as soon as I'm done with my other exhibit in Paris. If you around stop by and see the other Artists too.

Creative Harvest in Paris Kentucky-not France

I love this painting, but maybe I can sell it tomorrow (Friday the 21st) at the Creative Harvest Festival in Paris. It's at the Hopewell museum in Paris and it starts at 5pm. I think it runs til 8. There will be other great Kentucky Artist

like Tina Rogers and my good friend Patrick Lynch. The barrel that I did earlier this year will be there too. Say hi if you see me, I'm not sure the exact time I will be there though because I have to also make an appearance at my other group show in Lexington which leads me to my next post.
