Catching up!

Ok, I played catch up on this one. It came together quite nicely. I'm not done yet, but for the most part I am. I was eager to work with the light in this, especially with the trees to the right and the light in Britney's hair. A few more set downs and it should be done. Oh, and this was scene at Anglin Falls.

Cliffsart History

I haven't had a chance to paint much the last couple of days so here are two Cliffsart history pieces. I did these Color Pencil pieces of the Natural Bridge and Balanced Rock. Both are great places to hike but it's a little tricky in the snow. I remember I was jumpy because I had bruised ribs from another fall I took on ice earlier that year. Probably 2008 or so. 

Here we are.

I worked on this one last night. It's another scene from the Anglin Falls It's funny that the landscape there is so neat, I've only painted the Falls once or twice. I should also add that I sold Shawnee Run and it is now off to a new home in New Hampshire. To an Art Collector with good taste of course

I'm back!

After getting ready for the big show at the church, I had to lay off and take a break. I was really getting back in the mood to paint, but then I hurt my foot really bad Friday afternoon and was down until this afternoon. I'm better now, but I came away with a few drawings for future paintings. This is the first one I did and the first I'll use. I haven't drawn in over a month, I'm glad my skill seems about the same.

Midnight Forest

A piece of CliffsArt history. Midnight Forest, one of my first interweb sales. 2003 maybe? You can see my shoody Photshop work I did back then. It was a round piece.

New work-still working

I'm getting close to done. I had to really brighten the background and darken the fore ground to get the setting sun light close to right. The exhibit opening went well the other night. That was the most people I ever had at once. It was hard to deal with that many people for three hours, but I'm glad to do it. I had a few people who said they would buy a piece, but it looks like one will actually come through. More news on that later if it works out. It's nice to get the compliments and praise, which I had a lot of, but it's hard to be that social for that long. Thanks to those who came out but especially Mary, who traded insults and sharp verbals barbs with me for most of the time and kept me with it. She's a dear friend, but you might think we hate each other if you heard us talk. It's just our way. It's was also great to have Malissa, Tina and Jesse out too.
