Natural Beauty

Natural Beauty, one of the paintings that will be downtown during the next Gallery Hop. I' delivered about 13 pieces last week. I even pulled out some oldies like this one. More info coming soon.

Among the Giants

I'm taking a break after preparing the show downtown for the next Gallery Hop so I'm posting a bit of Cliffsart history. This piece is Among the Giants and it may have been my first internet sale. I did this when I was leaving my Space Art phase and had a great photo shoot with a good friend and model Brianna. That shoot changed the way I would paint and set me on a new path I've really enjoyed. This was one of the first paintings from that shoot and I haven't thought about it in a long time. I think it sold to someone in Texas.

Framed!

I titled this one Snowy Stream. I know, names are really hard. I built the frame Saturday. It's a large one, it's 40 x 30 inches and the first image I worked from that I didn't take myself. Well, at least since art school 12 years ago. Probably longer than that, since I was extremely opposed to working from images on the internet. I should really say first year of art school. I saw lots of students manipulating images from the webs and that used to drive me crazy. But, some of them may be full time wealthy Graphic Designers now, who knows. This will be in the next Gallery Hop at the First Presbyterian Church at market street along with other works of mine. I'll post those pics later, but I have a solo show there. Everyone take care and have fun!

Sales in Danville KY

I found out that both Light and Mercer County Reflection sold last week in Danville. Both are small paintings, but I wish I could have some more like Mercer County Reflection.  When me and the model did the photo shoot, the stream wasn't getting a lot of sunlight and most of the pictures didn't come out so well, but I did have enough light to do Mercer County Reflections(The round one). Glad someone is enjoy them both.

More Frames!

These are some frames I built for my upcoming show downtown in the next Gallery Hop. I bought this pine wood at Menard's in Indianapolis for a really good price. I usually wouldn't use pine for a frame but it was pretty wood and you don't say no to $3.00 and some change for 10 feet. It's pretty light too.

Snow!

Snow! But I'm not done yet.

Snow time like Show time!

I've been gearing up for a show in the next Gallery Hop, so I've been running around touching up different paintings, but here is where I am with this one. I'm really happy with the rocks Malissa is standing on. Those may be me best rocks yet. I have to pop in some more trees then I'll be ready for the snow. Stay warm everyone!
