This small oil painting (8x10) was inspired from a sketch I did last week. Then the setting and situation started to appear. I'm working with the paint differently than I did in many years ago and the paint is behaving differently from how I remembered it. Maybe it is the amount of moisture in the air here in Flagstaff as compared to Ellensburg, WA.

This small oil painting I did yesterday. It measures 8x10. I'm really enjoying the subtle color variations that are possible with using oils.

Tons of snow the last few days. I have been painting and will post images tomorrow.

I missed my workout today but I did get to do this drawing/watercolor. There are some aspects that I think work well ... especially the middle section. I will probably explore that design more and I think there needs to be a car or two in the image. I think the trees are working well and the wispy smoke adds a nice asian influence.

I finally broke out the oil paints I got for my birthday and did this oil on wood panel painting for a project that I need to get finished in the next month. I was happy with the results and happy to be painting with oils again. Oh yeah, this is a peregrine falcon ... the piece will focus on how the peregrine falcon is surviving in urban areas.

Two more drawings completed over the weekend.

I've not been posting but I have been drawing.
