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.

The Judas
The Judas
"8 x 10" oil on canvas panel
Sold
I'm not in love with VW Beetles, but this one was just too good to pass up. Sarah and I passed it on the way back to our hotel in Merida, Mexico and then I walked back an entire block to get a photo of it. The real Judas has "The Judas" written in white cursive stickers across the top of the front windshield. I don't know the significance of the name as it relates to the car, and I was so happy with the painting by the time I was nearly finished that I was afraid to attempt to paint the name. Knowing when to quit is one of the greatest lessons to learn if you're serious about painting. I adhere to that advice about 50% of the time.
