Back at oils

I tried oils again today. I am going to work at them more and try to get better at them. This was fun to try and I enjoyed pushing the paint. As always, feel free to comment, Dean

The rescue

Here is a picture I started with just the pepsi machine. It kept getting more involved as I went. I thought it would be cute having a little girl trying to get a soda. Then I thought it would be funny to have a little boy bringing a ladder but that didn't work out so I had him come to the rescue with pepsi in the wagon. As always, feel free to comment.

catching up

I have been painting a little but playing music even more, Sorry I have been remiss on posting. The first picture is one I did of one of my ukuleles. I tried to knife in the strings but Got too much paint on the knife. Oh well. the next one is a rework of the "supporting the arts". I put a small piece of pottery in the foreground to add a little depth to the painting. I painted the hat and bobber/lures at one of the painting nights with the brush-ka-teers. That one has been interesting. I ask women and they do not see the hat but every man I showed did. What's up with that? The last one is a painting that was inspired from a photo I took in savannah, Ga. It reminds me of when a young boys fancy turns to girls. I tried to convey awkwardness and shyness. Enjoy, Dean
