Parachute Sunset - Part 2

I cleaned up some in the studio and then reworked the sky to give it a more transitional sky for this sunset.   After in drys I will add the parachutist silhouettes coming in to land at the drop zone.  Have a great weekend.

Sunset over the Bay

I worked on the Sunset over the Bay, the Chesapeake Bay.  On the top, I added some layers to the sky, water, and some with the trees.  I will work some on the foliage and work the shore line.  It's coming along.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse - tiny sketch

I try ( and don't succeed as much as I should) to carry a small sketch book with me and sketch while I wait for appointments or waiters of anything.  I did this tiny sketch (about 4 inches tall) in a little red sketchbook.  This is a sketch of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina on the Outer Banks area of the Middle Atlantic region.

Khamsa Hand Birthday Card

A Khamsa Hand card for a family member's birthday.  I had seen these but had never knew what they were called.  The family member whose birthday is coming next week is currently obsessed with these so I personalized this one.  I added Columbine flowers, Minions, and Pug dogs.

Sea Lion Club House

I started this oil painting a year ago but was unhappy with the initial block-in and the first attempts at fixing.  I pulled this out today and totally reworked the water, the sky, and I better defined the buoy's structure.  I blocked in the Sea Lions.  This is a better painting now and I will be able to finish this now and show it with pride.  This is another painting rescued from oblivion.

Catch and Release Trout - part 2

I worked on the Brook Trout painting.  It is almost done.  I think I will let it rest and then see if anything jumps out at me as needing fixing.
