8" x 10"
Oil on Canvas Panel
$50
I've had this painting in mind for a long time now, and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. It's not pretty, but if you've ever taken the Orange Line back from DC after a long night, you might understand why it looks this way.
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.

Morning and Evening
8" x 10"
Oil on Canvas Panel
'Evening'
$35 each - $65 for both
I had a bunch of paint left over after I finished "River Kayaking" so I squinted my eyes at a couple of photos and slapped on the paint as fast as I could in a loosely representational style.

'Morning'
This one's really abstract, but I like it. These would look nice side by side in wooden floater frames.
River Kayaking
8" x 10"
Oil on Canvas Panel
My Aunt Diane is in the Kayak next to her dog, Marley. Sister Katherine is wading toward her off to the right. I wanted this painting to be a lot less realistic and representational than it ended up, but it's really hard to paint that way. I'm trying to avoid replicating photos.
Bud
8" x 10"
Oil on HD Canvas
Commissioned
This is Bud. He's an old dog now, but I turned back the clock for him in this painting. I think it turned out pretty well considering I've never met the dog and my only reference was a 2" x 2" photo print from many years back.

The River
6" x 8"
Oil on Canvas Panel
I have painted and photographed this image countless times, but there's no end to the enjoyment I get from seeing it. I painted this during my week at the river this August. Sarah was reading, Riley was rolling around in the grass nearby, and I was sitting in the shade painting the view.
