Painting #63: Rose Tinted Waves. (Updated Picture.)

Here's a better picture of my new painting.

Painting #63: Rose Tinted Waves. (Finished.)

Here's a pretty lousy picture of my new painting. I'll get a better one up this evening.
I'm really enjoying painting clouds! I think it's something I might try playing with more.
The pages I used in the background are from Pride and Prejudice.

Painting #63: Rose Tinted Waves. (Unfinished Preview.)


Here are moody and blurry pictures of what I'm working on right now.

Can you guess what book the pages are from?

Painting #62: Hill Country. (Finished.)

Here are several views of my new painting. The middle two pictures are half  shots, it's hard to get a good quality picture of a long canvas.

City Lights Cafe.



I'm not sure who allowed this artist to show their stuff in public. Disgraceful!

Painting #61: Carolina Marshes. (Finished.) + Weekend Update.

I feel like this should be on my truck. But I'm not sure what kind of guy I'd attract with that.


This is a tiny painting - it's an 8x10. I'm not really crazy about it because painting water is freaking hard but I wanted to practice depth, water, different colors, using different mixed media. Doing tiny practice paintings seems like a better idea than using a bunch of paint on a huge canvas and hating it. But I'm really enjoying working with pallet knives. 

So I met a new friend and she's pretty awesome and gave me these canvases for free! It's hard to tell in the picture but they are both huge. The biggie is like 30somthingx20something. And the skinny one is 10somethingx20something. And I know exactly what I want to do with both of them. Mountains have been something I've been obsessed with lately in my paintings so that's what you'll be seeing. I started the skinny one last night.
