Hello! Here is the final piece from my series of four (I should have given the series a name!). This one is called "Evergreen Lane." I had a lot of fun with the many layers in this scene. I think I will try and create a photo of all four paintings together and see how each relates to its neighbor in the end.

For now I am starting on a whole new series for spring. It is not a new subject matter for me but feedback from my collectors is that they love the brilliant colors and simplicity of these pieces. Intriguing right??! More on that soon!

Until next time...

Good Morning!

As promised, here is a look at "The Path." In the end " The Meadow," "The River," and "The Path" make a nice triptych (3 paintings as 1 image). However, I was in need of four paintings that looked nice together so I have one left to complete with the same color pallet. I am working on "Evergreen Lane" today to finsh out the series of four.

Until next time...

Hello! Here we have it, the completion of the river scene! Today I am working on "The Path." I should have a nice photo of it tomorrow. Enjoy!

Until next time...

Hello! Yesterday I got quite a few trees finished behind my river. I needed to know what colors were going to be reflected in the water. Today, I will hopefully complete the piece.

Until next time...

Good Afternoon!

Well, I'm finally back in the studio and I am continuing to work on the series of four that we have been following. Over the weekend my paintings were on display and for sale at the Easton Home Show. It was a long show so I brought my paints with me and painted there. I was able to get a good chunk finished on two of the paintings of the four. Here is a look at one of them. This is the one I think I called "The meadow." I am working on "The river" today.

Until next time...

Hello!

Here is a look at the final floor with grout and all. It looks really nice. I am very pleased.

Until next time...

Good Morning!

Here is a photo of the next step on the new floor, the laying of the tiles. This is a beautiful stone look vinyl tile with the sticky back. I had found some spacers that made it fairly easy to be precise and keep them in line. As you can tell though, there were many custom pieces to be cut around the edges - that was a little harder and took quite a bit of time. the final look soon!

Until next time...

Hello!

I have not been in my studio for a few days. You know those occasions where one thing leads to another? Well, we needed to replace the refrigerator and during the replacement we noticed we also needed to replace the flooring - so guess what I've been doing? I am actually loving the new floor but my "oh it'll only take one long hard day" has turned into now day 4! What can you do? Beauty takes time I guess! Here is photo of the sub floor after the old linoleum was removed and the holes repaired. Let's follow a floor!

Until next time...

Good afternoon. Here we see a picture of the four pieces all with finished skies. I found out that I have paint them all at the same time so that I would be in the same state of mind for all four. I've found, as you can see comparing yesterdays cloud to todays, that I paint a little different from day to day. One day I might be more tight with my brush strokes while the next day I'll be a lot more relaxed. Crazy!

Until next time...

Hello!

Here is a look at some clouds I just finished. I am working on final skies now for the four pieces we have been following. More clouds soon!

Until next time...

Here is the last under painting for the series we have been following. It is a happy ending, of course! I call this one "The Path." In my mind, the path leads to some one's favorite fishing spot as it seems to bend towards the river in it's neighbor painting.

Until next time...

Here is the third portion of my latest series. This one is called "The River." As you may have noticed it is painted from the same scene my huge 40 x 60 is inspired by. It will be fun to see how different it looks big versus small.

Also, I got a couple of nice photos of the snow today - we got about 5 or so inches and it was amazing to watch. My house has many windows so no matter where I was I could see it coming down.

Until next time...

Good Morning! Here is the second shadow and under painting for my four painting series. I am trying to feature a different theme in each painting while connecting them with the same color scheme and a continuing scene. Yesterday we saw the painting featuring my evergreens. This one is called "Meadow."

Until next time...

Good Afternoon!

Okay, I have been able to get into the studio a little and get some paint on canvases. We have just seen the drawings from the set of four I am working on. Now I can show each of the pieces in their shadows. Each piece has a generic title right now until they are finished. This is the first in the line called "Evergreen Lane."

Until next time...
