Rocky Mountain High

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

It's been a while since I've been able to post. Decided today to use Google+ to sign into my blog site and it worked!

This painting is based on an imaginary image after taking some medicine that did a little more than it was prescribed to do! That's why it's called Rocky Mountain High.

Well, I had to paint this in real life. What I remember the most is, while it was in my imagination, I kept seeing the brushwork forming the rocks. I love brushwork. One of my goals is to have my brushwork describe or form everything I paint. I don't know if this is a breakthrough piece, but I'm really, really happy I painted it and even more happier that it came out like the one in my imagination.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope. I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery. This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy. After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20. Buy with Paypal This is an experiment to force myself to say more with less. Painting with less brushwork because I have to! Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that. But I am having fun.
