Obelisk

Very early stages of a new painting. Mostly just underpainting at this stage. Some detailed work in the jeans and flag. Model is a combo of two models...my daughter for the upper half. The obelisk is a monument here at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Magic Slippers

Small still life of ballet slippers. 11X14

Farm in Fog

I've done a study of the "fog" effect on the Roscoe Road farm. I found it a difficult effect to achieve. I'm used to painting in a full range of values, I guess, and the main focus of this painting is probably only half that. I like the study but have not decided whether or not a larger work will follow. Maybe. 11X14 study will be in the next Espresso Lane show.

New Scan

I've had "Aura" professionally scanned...gorgeous!! I plan to add a larger version on my website soon. This and several other personal works are going to be offered as limited edition prints...check the website in a couple of weeks.

Foggy Farm

This past Saturday I woke up to a very foggy morning here in Newnan. I grabbed my camera and headed out to shoot some reference pictures for future paintings. This farm, a couple of miles from my house, is surrounded by development and I fear that it will be gone one day. I've wanted to paint it for several years but earlier reference photos did'nt spark my interest. I like the atmosphere here and plan at least a couple of works.

Here is "Marooned" by Pyle(see post below).

Pirates of the Caribbean 2?

A couple of more drawings from the "Erin the Pirate" session. The top one reminds me of a painting by Howard Pyle...."Marooned". Awesome painting by one of the all time masters.
