Saturday I started this little guy. It needs a few more passes at it. I’m going to work on my patience and spend more than a day on it. I’m donating this to my daughters school art auction, just as a little silent auction piece. So I wanted to pick a subject that would appealContinue reading “Spring Boise Foothills WIP”

Can I “reblog” your work? Guest Artist.
Art reblog Tuesday! How about you “like” this post if you wouldn’t mind me reblogging and showing one of your paintings on my blog.?.?

Spring Break- Ukiah
Oil on Canvas 8X10 Still chronicling sprig break over here on my little art blog. This has been a mostly fun project for me, and is forcing me to try some things I’ve never done before, for better or worse. This piece I’m posting today is one that I painted last year after Spring Break.Continue reading “Spring Break- Ukiah”

Karly and Cade & Spring Break
12X9 oil on canvas I can tell I’m tired because I can’t remember if I posted the FINAL picture of these two paintings! I recently got Cade back from being scanned at the art print shop. Last month I took in a big bunch of paintings to have photographed so I could have some high qualityContinue reading “Karly and Cade & Spring Break”
Mendocino Headlands
30X40″ oil on canvas Yesterday I started this Mendocino California beach landscape. I sketched out the initial scene quickly and will wait for it to dry to work on values and create more depth. There are 2 parts of this painting that I love and won’t change. The sky and that one tree sticking upContinue reading “Mendocino Headlands”
Lemons

Little Cuties
I painted this still life of mandarin oranges this morning. I love the loose, fast, carefree feel to this one. I was going to paint strawberries but we didn’t have any, so I grabbed a bunch of mandarins and set them up in the early morning light. Their shadows were getting shorter as the sunContinue reading “Little Cuties”
