Update

Here is the updated version. It's nice to start filling in details after blocking in color. I think when it's done the shadows will look really cool.

Edgar Casey framed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just framed this piece at work the other day. Now I have to catch my neighbor and give it to him. This is a frame that was built at another frame shop so we were just going to throw it away. I grabbed it and re cut it to fit Edgar here. It worked out nice.

Smaller painting?

I've been working on this one. I've been blocking in some globs of color before getting detailed aboot it. It's a smaller piece (16 x20), which means less paint, but I feel better working big. Maybe I can get this one under control quickly.

Drawing

I'm taking a bit of a rest before jumping in to the next one, but I have the drawing for it. I used to use only the model with Nature, but I'm starting to use more and more building and fences and stuff. The next piece will have buildings, roads and fences. Is it progress? Maybe.

Sleeping Prophet

I believe I'm done with this one. I titled it "Sleeping Prophet". Edgar Cayce was supposed to have healed a lot of people through his visions, but he also predicted "World" stuff. He also predicted things about the Egyptians and the Sphinx. I thought it'd be more fun for Rocky, my neighbor I'm doing this for. It's also a Color Pencil piece, and I do those pretty fast. And it was fun to do a piece the way I used to. Now back to my regular thing. Have fun!

Framed!!!!

I framed this piece with a really nice Gold frame. I've also added some touches to this painting, but I don't know if you can see them. I still need another pic. I also need to put up a pic of the Edgar Cadye piece. It's coming along pretty good. I "Predict" I will post that this week.Get it? Have fun!

Space!

This is a Color Pencil piece I did years ago titled Celestial Traveler. I still need to frame sometime. I did this in my Space Art phase. It was really fun, but after a few years, I said all I had to say as far as making Space Art went. I was once part of a Space Art group. They liked my work and juried me in. As time went by, I got hit by people who didn't liked that every star wasn't placed exactly how it should be in relation to certain Planets and things. Some of these people, as I found out, were scientist and former Astronauts. Really, Astronauts. Can't argue with them. So I quit the group and later stopped painting space. It's OK now, I'm having fun doing what I do now. But really, to knit pick over where stars should be in relation to Earth in a painting. Seems a little much.
