Do Over

Starting a series called "Do Over".  On occasion, I'll take old paintings and rework them to hopefully a better conclusion.   Here's the first attempt.  I did this painting about 6 yrs ago.   I like the result.

A New Blog - Oil Painting Tips


Beginning this week, I'm starting a new blog to focus on lessons learned at the easel as well as the 8 years I've taught.  I hope you will follow me and comment.   Happy Painting.

Oldie but Goodie SOLD

"Stand Tall, Study"
9x12  Oil on Panel
$250   NOW $200

Digging through some older pieces & discovered a favorite of mine.  I always have a stack of panels of unfinished or didn't quite make the cut" paintings to serve as underpaintings for new pieces.  Somehow this got buried in the wrong pile.  My discovery could turn into a good deal for someone.

Studies

"Afternoon Stroll"
5x7  Oil on museum quality panel
$95 + shipping

This is another study that I'm doing in prep for larger pieces.  I always run into the dilemma of losing my initial excitement of a painting by doing a study but when I go big, it's important that the plan is set.  I can then just  enjoy the freedom of big brushes and piles of paint.  Happy Spring.
