More light
More light through the wave and on the girls. Still a little more to do.
WIP Kids on the Beach
Now to turn the lights on. It’s getting there. Next I’ll go in and work on their skin tones and bring up the values.
Monterey Cypress
oil on canvas 36X48 I think my Monterey Cypress painting is done for now, I’ll probably come back to it at some point. But it was time to move onto something new.
Clamming in Maine
I’m so excited to have the professionally scanned image to share with you on my blog. I wanted to wait until the painting was given as a gift before posting it so I wouldn’t somehow spoil the surprise through social media or whatnot. I got the report back today that it was very well receivedContinue reading “Clamming in Maine”
Figure 1 has a face now
Hooray! This buff little guy has a face now! He was the first figure I painted in, you might remember, and I got to his face and made a few attempts at it but didn’t know what direction to take with all their faces. So I moved on from him.

It happens every time at some point with every painting. I panic and think, holy crap this doesn’t look like anything but crap. ThenContinue reading “Figure 1”
Bridge, Maine, Musicians, Sisters
Looks like it’s show and tell day, I may have gotten carried away… This is a painting I started around the same time I did the other Golden Gate Bridge painting, I still haven’t finished it. It’s almost done, but you will see I have 5 more cars to paint in and the road. I’ve foundContinue reading “Bridge, Maine, Musicians, Sisters”
Oregon Coast
18×24 oil on canvas I’m all done with this one and I am so happy with how it turned out, I’m not sure I want to part with it. I’m sorta sad to finish because I was having such a good time watching these kids come to life. And this is the piece that I struggledContinue reading “Oregon Coast”
