This post is a long time coming.
This month I intended to make four paintings at least, of a theme I called “the country life”.
While I have tried to use any spare moments to paint, I found myself doing a myriad of other things, meaning I’m way behind.
The beginning of the month was taken up with some prep and some research for this theme. I spent several hours driving around, getting pictures of the country life around me. That was pure delight. Unfortunately, morning would turn to noon day lighting, and that would be the end of the shooting. Rain and overcast days also kept me from more photography.
Other things came up, such as working on a sculpture I’d committed to paint for our church’s kids’ choir, weekly bible study, helping with some kidztown stuff, graffiti retreat weekend, and today, a sick kid at home.
I’m excited to be done with this first painting. It was a joy to paint, although interrupted far too many times. I look forward to your comments and criticisms.
I’ve already started working on the next piece, and promise to put a progress update on here soon. Hopefully it will get done much quicker.
If you are interested in purchasing this piece, or any other, write me and we can discuss prices.
If you would like to see more of my work go to gallery and click on individual pieces to get a closer look.
I also do commission work. Drop me a line if there’s something you would like to have as an original piece of art.
