Plein Air :: No Brushes
Posted on August 13, 2010
I am a little embarrassed to say that I went out painting and forgot my brushes. Ooops.
Not to be deterred I decided to get some palette knife work in. I will have to make a couple adjustments when it dries, but I'll chalk this up to experience and move on. 8×10, oil on board, 40 minutes.

One Voice :: Abstract :: Accepted into a Show
Posted on March 28, 2009
An old painting I did awhile back has recently been accepted into the ‘Abstract" show with the FCA.
It took me less than an hour to block in the main aspects of the painting, but it took three days to complete it. Getting the yellow streak in the spot that just felt right took a lot of effort.
The painting represents how one voice, indicated by the yellow, in a sea of existing thinking is needed to start change.
The painting will be on display and sale at the FCA Gallery between May 5 – 17, 2009.

Gamblin Oil Paint :: From Life
Posted on January 6, 2009
I finally got my still life stand set up beside my easel. Now I just need to try and use it everyday.
Today I took one of the first things I saw, a tube of ultramarine gamblin oil paint, and painted it from life. I started with a sketch then toned the board using watercolours. After it was dry it was time for the pastel.
