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.

'Clearing'
12" x 24" Oil on HD Canvas
$150 plus shipping - Sold
This is a painting of the valley just west of the Bryce Canyon "Amphitheater" in Tropic, Utah. I painted it back in the beginning of July after my wife and I returned from a 17 day National Park tour of Utah and Colorado - I've been a little lazy about posting. I thought I would do a lot more painting from the trip than I've done, but I feel like none of my photos do the scenery justice. Plus, I've been a little preoccupied with finding a job and now preparing for that job, which is teaching 8th grade Special Education English...I have a lot to learn and a ton of work to do so the posts and paintings may be limited for a while. But, one of the many reasons I wanted to teach was so that I could have my summers off to focus on painting...ahh, already looking forward to summer! Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze some paintings in this year, but we'll see.
