I really liked how this painting turned out. But, I do realize that I’m avoiding the continued work on my long term still life painting. So, that means I’m going to push myself to work on it until I finish in the next couple days. Read More
I finished up this painting tonight. I’m glad that I put the time in on it. It is the best of the glass paintings that I have done. Read More
I continued work on this still life tonight. I started adding color and much thicker paint but I only worked on it for about 30 minutes until I had to leave to pick up Pattie from the airport. Read More
Life drawing again tonight. I’m still struggling with gestures and tonight was especially hard because the model was so amazing that it was almost impossible to capture the beauty of her body.

I’m still having fun with glass on white, and I added a bit of black today for interest, plus some nice colored Rum. The values here are so subtle that I have to really focus on every stroke of paint I put down. I also have to constantly have a clear awareness of the overall values within the still life. If I get too many values too high then I will loose the super white glare on the glasses into the background. Needless to say it is a bit of a challenge. Read More

Glass on white. I really liked how subtle this was. I will have to do more in the future. Read More
I think I’m going to make this post and the next few very short, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount I intend to write on my blog every night and this is resulting in me not posting every day. So I think cutting back a bit and getting out a post every night would be better. Read More
