Back to work

Progress pic:
A work in progress...as always. Paint, wipe off, repeat till finish. Ugh. Going for a walk.

slow day

I've completed the sky on this piece, now 2/3 of the way to go. I didn't get much sleep at all last night so I'm operating on nothing today. Trying to get moving. Hopefully I'll get some on completed on "Jake" so I can at least show some updated progress before this day is over.

Michigan Corn Field and "Jake"

Yeah, not very impressive, huh? But...it's a starting point!

Progress pic:Clouds are just squiggles at this point. Going for a walk now.

"Jake", starting point:

From the Cottage: Ghost Ranch

"From the Cottage: Ghost Ranch" 14x18" oil

A better photograph but I'll re-take it when the painting is dry. I can see there's still a wash of light across the piece that blanches out the color a bit. Click to embiggen.

Snow Day

It's snowing all across New Mexico today. Ignore the bendy phost in my back yard, it's courtesy of my iphone, which likes to torque things.

Today's starting point on this piece:I'm going to finish this puppy up today and then I swear I'll take a good picture of it when I'm done. I bought a pretty big piece of masonite board yesterday so I'm wanting to get to that ASAP. Now to determine what I'm going to paint on said board. Looks like it's going to be a nice quiet day in the house.

"CoCo" 8x10" oil on board

Completed:

Tuesday

Starting point for "CoCo" today. I'll put in another picture below when I've made some progress, and as usual, swap that one out as I work. I really like working on this one. She's such a cutie with her sleepy face. Click to enlarge.

* Face is done except for some fiddling. So, no more pictures. I'll post the completed portrait sometime tomorrow. Thanks for playing along :-)
