The Romantic Contemporary Series


I started on a series at the end of last year and it involves over a years worth of still life's that I had done prior. I have collected all these photos, did all the photo shoots ahead of time so that I can go ahead and just paint them.


All of the paintings are 12" x 16" in size, whether they are landscape or portrait oriented varies.
They all started off like this, like a toddler drew them.
(I find I have less patience now for fiddling with drawings although it is important to get it right)


I changed the orientation of this piece because I felt it worked better upright.


There are still a few areas that I need to go into and detail here and there, but it is 90% done.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
