cows 2

Well, I thought I would be able to improve upon this picture if I were to simplify the foreground.  I think I was wrong.  On a bright side, I think I got the horns a lot better.  What do you think?  Please comment.

Another Wall Sculpture


 After the success of my last wooden wall sculptures, I decided to make another one.  This one, as you can see, is less rigid, and has much more interesting edges.  I think it really came out good.  It's gonna hang in my office until it sells, and if it doesn't sell, I'll be glad its here.

Purple Sunset

Ahhh, sunsets,  who doesn't like a nice relaxing sunset.  Here we have a nice purple sky with a little mist over the lake and a couple of little islands.

cows in a field

Here is the first picture I have ever done of cows. I like the field and like the cows and like the rocks, but I think that all of them together are a bit much. I think that I should have toned down the field a bit.

Sunset at the lake

Ahhh whats more relaxing than a nice sunset over the water. This is using the new technique for pine trees.

The long and winding road


Thought I would try something different with these. I totally wetted the paper and then painted one whole layer of paint. Then I went back and did some overtop. That is why there is color underneath everything on the paper. I tried a little different technique with the foreground pine trees. I think it worked out pretty good.

Some that I've been working on


Just a few of the things I've been working on. I have been working on painting some of the hills around here. The rocky peak was inspired from our hills. The lake is inspired from a picture I saw.

Horses (?) Grazing in a Field

Maybe they aren't horses, maybe they are cows or sheep or something, but they are out there grazing. I had two trees behind the large one on the left, but didn't plan out my sizing well and the two got engulfed with the one in the front. If you look hard you can just make them out. Well, I guess thats why they call it practice.

Windmill Just North of Morro Bay

This is the first sky done with a new method. I think the sky turned out AWESOME. I just need to bring up my level of work on the rest of everything.

Olive trees in a field

This is a quick one from last night. Well, ok, so I was interrupted three times by small children needing my help, but it didn't take all that long. I like the shadows under the trees. The creek could use some help. What do you think?
