The Balance of Power

The Balance of Power
9X12, Oil on Aluminum Panel
Available

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything here.  There is a somewhat good reason for that.  At this point, I'm not sure what to do with this blog because, well, I have relocated to Colorado!  I don't think I'm going to take on painting something from each county in Colorado so changing the name of this to "Painting Colorado" doesn't make much sense.  Maybe I'll just leave it as it is??

Well anyway, my first painting posted since April is another one from Arkansas which was actually finished before moving, just not signed.

This is from a place near Russellville, AR which locals used to all The Sweet Spot but is now called the Oita Coal Company mountain bike trail.

One Small Step At A Time Study 2

One Small Step At A Time, Study 2
6X8, Oil on Panel

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything!  I basically took the entire month of March off. 

This was from a painting trip taken I think 5 year ago of my son wading in a creek.  My hope is to make a large panting of this scene.  Study #1 was of the entire scene.  I will upload that one at a later time.  For this one, I really wanted to focus on the figure and fix many issues from study #1.  This still isn't perfect but it is a huge stride over the first attempt.

Counting Study #1 as 14 of 15, this one would be #15 of 50.  I still think I can make the 50 this year even with the March hiatus.

Out Of The Cradle

Out Of The Cradle
6X12, Oil on Panel

Here is yet another repaint.  The original of this was done back in February of 2006 and wasted a fine piece of linen.  This is of the Mars Opportunity rover looking back upon it's landing site.
