Farmland No. 100

I have hit the 100th painting mark in this series and don't feel bored, or finished, with it yet. Over the past 8 months I have used a lot of canvas, paint and energy working on these paintings. Some flow easily off the tip of the brush, while others have to be chiseled out again and again. There have been blood, sweat, and tears, literally, at times.

I have no idea where this series is taking me; in terms of style, working methods, career, etc. but I am extremely grateful that you, my friends, are along for the ride.

Sycamore and Grist Mill

Painted outside today.  Worked through a couple of downpours. Pay no attention to the damp look and the blinding white legs (it's still early in Spring, gimme a break.)

Through the Rubble

Here's a 30" x 40" in the current series of nocturnes I'm painting.  I'm digging the abstract quality that keeps coming out of these.

Norman's Place

Did this one fairly quickly today. Playing with the back of a 30" x 40" wooden panel I had painted a marine scene on about 5 years ago.  I think I'll let it dry and abstract it a bit.

Good Vibrations

I took a large, 30" x 40", stretched canvas out yesterday afternoon in the hopes of filling it with beautiful, luscious paint. I decided on a scene of rolling hills, trees, and distant mountains. I set up my gear beside a road going to  Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park and talked to quite a few folks that stopped in the road. Had my picture taken by a few also. It was a very enjoyable excursion.

I'm including some pics of the work in progress, as well as the finished painting.

A few recent paintings...

Limestone Christmas

Here's a pic of me by the easel so you can see the size of the painting. Also a pic of the painting. Not the best, will try to get a better picture later. A little over 3 hours painting time.
