Two sky paintings
These two paintings have now been completed. I recently applied a couple coats of varnish and took this photograph in my studio.
Since I am moving these photos may be the last taken in my studio. For the near future I will be without a dedicated work space. I will probably be working on smaller pieces… I must keep working!
Bison
This is a painting I did ages ago. I was painting over a very coarse texture created with modeling paste.
I have always been a fan of bison, though they are a tragic symbol.
Oregon Beach
Spent the day in Astoria Oregon. They have a really great Sunday market with a lot of food, crafts and wine.
We ended up at the beach down by Gearhart Oregon. All the hot weather was forgotten once that ocean air started blasting us.
Two Finished Paintings
These two paintings were just varnished. Some final studio photography!
Last Night
Tonight is the lasts night in my house, I will be back but it occurred to me my cats wouldn’t be back again… I’m painfully sentimental.
Here is how they have changed at the house.
Experimental Crow
This is an older piece. An experiment in texture, color and paint application. The results were interesting but chaotic.
Totem
Sometimes I will do little abstract studies. I generally only reference them for color or interesting brushwork or mark making. This one stuck with me a bit. It led to a lot of other representational ideas but not sure they captured the simple allure of this.
Jet Stream Shadow
Lake Pend Oreille
I was fortunate enough to spend a bit of time at the lake yesterday evening. The reflections were hypnotic!
