Work in Progress - Fall foliage

Oil Painting of fall foliage, or at least the start with basic lay in of colors.  I have not developed my technique enough finish this up in one go.  At least not without screwing it up and turning it to muddy colors.  I will finish it and then post it up.

Gerald Cassidy sketch

This is a sketch I did after a sketch originally done by the artist Gerald Cassidy.  I really like and respect  Cassidy's art, which is mostly New Mexico based art and southwestern.

Trout Steam sketch

More of the evening sketching series.  These are part of the things I do each evening.  It relaxes me and does not expend anything but pencil lead and a little time.

Adobe shed sketch

This is practice sketching and evening activity of an Adobe shed with old wood door.  I did most of it and felt I did the most interesting part.

Canyon de Chelly Sketch

More sketches for sanity and practice.  This is part of my evening relaxing and work on my skills.  Canyon de Chelly is in New Mexico.

Enchanted Mesa - Carl Redin

This is a pencil sketch I did of a Carl Redin's painting of Enchanted Mesa in New Mexico.  These sort of sketches are a good way to develop your understanding of tones and how better artists handle translating nature in to the language of painting.

Another Birthday

Earlier in the month,we had another birthday for my niece, Julia.  She is obsessed with the Minions and I help feed the obsession with these sketch cards.  I did not post this on her actual birthday because I was in the midst of the Red Feather Lake series of posts.  So Happy Birthday Julia.
