Copper Pan and Bottle study

A bit of a rough start on this one.  The pan is ok, not so much on the bottle or jar or whatever this is.  I lost some of the shape and will need to go back out it tomorrow in the light of day and after some sleep.  All moving towards the 10k hours needed to master something.

Lettuce and Pepper Still Life Practice

So it's a little rough but, it is a good start on a green color challenge of these vegetables.  I need to work on the edges and shaping the leaves to give this depth.  I will tweak this later.

Red Onions Still Life Practice

So this is the start of another practice of Still Life - this time Red Onions.  This was pretty quick and I will probably just add a few highlights and then leave it alone.  Back at regular work today so only quick time on the brush tonight.

Post Christmas Still Life study

So after recovering from Christmas, I worked on this study of brass pots.  Not an original design but it's something I need to work on, capturing different surfaces and textures in paint.

Happy holidays and merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!  I little Reindeer study for the holidays.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my Mom's Birthday.  I do cards for my family members and I did this one of the State Flower of Colorado, the Columbine.  I did this with colored pencils and Ink.  So enjoy your day Mom and stay warm.

Merry Christmas Snowman!

So the wife, daughter and I went and did a drink beer and paint tonight at Calvert Brewery.  We did a Snowman with moonlight and Christmas tree.  It is fun to do these paintings and I enjoy the fun of painting with my girls.
