My hope for this blog is that it will document my progression as an oil painter. While I have not studied art in a formal setting, I do study art on my own time. Each new painting is a study in color and technique, trial and error. Every second is a study in perspective.

"Warehouse District"
8" x 10" Oil on Panel
Sold
This is the "Warehouse District" in New Orleans. The painting is adapted from a photo that I took on Tchoupitoulas Street (Still can't pronounce), just down the road from Cochon Restaurant, one of the many restaurants that we sampled during our New Year's 2010 trip to New Orleans. If you like pig in all its glorious forms, check out Cochon.
The painting is of the Warehouse District, but it could be any city. I thought about working in a Fleur-de-lis somewhere, but I couldn't make it work and the painting is busy enough without it.
I haven't painted in a few days because my blog malfunctioned and I had to go back and re-upload every photo that I've posted so far as a link to my Picasa album. That was a little discouraging, but hopefully I'm back in business now.
