New Stuff

I've been really busy painting and I've neglected my blog. Let's see if I can get caught up.

New techniques.. Burnt umber pickout and new palettes..Zorn, Warm Cool primary and transparents.

More to follow soon. I just installed a new painting in a clients home today and hung a couple more paintings in a Phantom Gallery in Carlsbad. I'll be doing a demonstration thursday evening between 5:30 and 8:30 pm on Grand ave in Carlsbad.

Also have 3 paintings hanging in Acapella in Temecula.

I continue to study at Watts Atelier in Encinitas and am very pleased with the results.

Currently I am working on a few pieces...one very large painting of 2 cheetahs I had the pleasure of photographing at the wild animal park.

More photos soon.

Wild Animal Park Ducks

Recently a friend of mine and I went to the Wild Animal park in San diego. We had a fabulous time. Took lots of photos.

We came upon a large pond with sooo many kinds of ducks/water birds and my gosh the reflections in the water.

So here's the first painting....possibly the only because by accident my significant other deleted all my photos.......

Well I will take more photos....
