Color/landscape/abstract

Today I took an abstract I had been working on that had lost direction and took it in a new direction and made it into an abstract landscape. I tried to be loose and to use a lot of paint and vary the direction of brush strokes. It was a fun exercise to try toContinue reading “Color/landscape/abstract”

Portrait

I started this mother/daughter portrait last week and look forward to working on it more when it dries. I’ll add to their features and I will use glazes to bring up the chroma and hopefully bring them to life. I also look forward to playing around with those people and dog playing in theContinue reading “Portrait”

Huntington Beach

During our Southern California trip we made our way to Huntington Beach on a perfect 75 degree spring day, with about 10,000 other people. It was warm, blue skies, and lots of people to watch.

Boise Foothills WIP

24X30″ oil on canvas Here’s a work in progress. It started out as a surreal thing with an elk head with antlers floating in the sky above the foothills. I lived with it like that for a few weeks and decided the elk was just too cute with its big eyes and ears. So IContinue reading “Boise Foothills WIP”

Boise Landscspe

My 48×36″ experiment is ever evolving.

Music

It’s going to take me a while to relax into this style and feel comfortable, but I’m going to keep at it because I enjoy it so much. More than anything I love color and the process of laying down paint. I’m still thinking of how the shape and color of music can be caughtContinue reading “Music”
