A Time to Reflect

I did this picture last night and finished it this morning, it is done in acrylic on a 16 x 20 canvas. This is the kind of paintings I love to do.

Fun in the Mud

This was my first attempt at doing a pencil sketch. I have done sketches for paintings for many years, but never a finished pencil drawing. They are not that easy to do, because I do all my shading when I do the painting. A really new medium for me.

This is a painting I did in the summer of 2006. It was taken from a photo in an old magazine, I changed the back ground, and changed the amount of kids in it, to get the feeling I was looking for. There just isn't anything better than getting the heart out of a sun warmed mellon, that you picked. The name of this painting is "Country Brunch"
I love to do paintings that tell a story, and in this one you can tell which of the kids do this job often and which is the city cousin.

First Post

This is my first blog. This is a painting I did for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. It is the first in a series of three.
