Today I am showing a work in progress that I started yesterday. I started two new landscapes. I have the general idea down on canvas, now I need to let this one dry so I can build on the color.

Jeni’s Peaches
I wish I had a better picture of this one! it’s one of my favorites. I painted this for my sister and her husband for Christmas and surprised them with it. I was in such a rush to get it framed and in the mail that I didn’t take any good photos. I had it framedContinue reading “Jeni’s Peaches”
Boys at the Fair

Ethan
Ethan needs some pants. Yesterday I worked on Ethan’s face, hands, and shirt. Everything but his pants. Today I will put some pants on him, although I like the surreal look of having the clouds for pants. I liked the way the others looked with the clouds coming through too, maybe I will paint anotherContinue reading “Ethan”
