Good Day for a Hurricane

Being still relatively new to the region, I'm really unsure of what to expect when Irene hits us. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time, as I've always loved a good storm. Here's hoping that everyone makes it through this safely, and that we all have lots of inspiring skies to paint when it passes!

Reclamation Project

Here is a painting I decided to paint over. My wife curses me when I do this, but I'm tired of looking at it. Although I was happy with it when I completed it, my current work is so much better. Plus, it's a giant canvas and I have a great painting in mind for it!

Starving Artist

In an effort to minimize the starving part, I took on a new job. The flip-side of course is less time to paint. The balancing act became too difficult, and a great job opportunity was too hard to pass up. The job is actually more artful than many of my past design jobs, so hopefully it keeps me inspired.

I do look forward to painting outdoors more once it cools down, and still painting whenever possible. Above is a painting I did a few years ago, entitled "Willows on Water".

Yellowstone

Here is a painting that I had considered painting over until I was talked out of it. I had a great painting in mind for it, but I guess I need to start buying more canvases instead of painting over everything!
