Export to PDF | Export to DOCI spent most of my day painting a fence. There are about 55 different little pieces that make up the white fence. So this part of the painting is a rather slow-going process. But the reward is most satisfying! My favorite thing about the fence is the contrast between the […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCHere’s some more photos from the commission I’ve been working on. I spent most of the day creating the grassy field which makes up the bottom half of the painting. It’s starting to take shape!
Export to PDF | Export to DOCToday I worked on painting the house, the barns, and the other little structures. Painting all this detail made my eyes cross (I’m not exaggerating)… mainly because it was so hard to see any detail in the photos. Hopefully I won’t need to get glasses as a result of […]

Export to PDF | Export to DOCHere’s a commission I started last winter and just finally finished up this summer. It’s heading to Kansas City, Missouri, so I want to make sure it’s completely dry before sending it half way across the county. It’s been drying since the beginning of August, so I think it […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCThis week I’m staring the third of three commissioned oil paintings for my client Ron. I saved this one for last because I thought it may be the most challenging — I wanted to make sure my painting skills were back up to snuff after the summer break. It’s […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCThere is no painting being done today. Just having fun spending time with my family on this vacation day. Here’s a photo of my budding artist’s most recent piece, from the second grade art project called “Playground Art.” This drawing is Nathan’s idea of a great water park. When […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCI finished my sunrise! This has been a very stretching landscape project to work on.
