Deliverance!


Ha! What were you thinking? This was a still life I did with the "brusk-ka-teers" sort of. Only two of the four painted this one. I had set up a guitar, banjo and mandolin for us to paint but it was way too ambitious. Mitchell and I both just settled on the banjo. Here are the results of mine. As always feel free to comment.

Winter Barn


Here is a painting I did yesterday and today. It is an 11x14 painting of a barn that is on a friends property. I had taken the photo last year when we had a snow storm here. I have wanted to try my hand at snow again and see if I could paint it. I really need to think about focal points and such. Even though it lacks a defined one I still enjoyed painting it! Thanks for looking! Dean

Yankee Blue


Since I did the rebel soldier a few weeks ago I thought I would take a stab at a Federal one. I asked a cousin to send me a picture on him in his civil war attire. This was my attempt. I will not tell you who it is because it does not look like him! Ha! I find that after I get started I quit looking at the subject and just paint for fun. This was interesting to have to work with so much of one color. Thanks for looking! Dean
