A little more

Got some more work done tonight. Though I am happy with it so far, it is a little boring.

Hey, I'm back

After along hiatus I am back in action. All the flames of War minis are done and put away and I got the paints back out.

I am starting with a series of 4 chicken birds. This one started with a pencil sketch, then I took a razor and scratched the surface. I did the fist layer of paints and decided I like the razor scratches and want to add more once this dries.

Flames of War Shermans - All Done

I finally finished off my Sherman Company. Added some weathering and a wash of agrax earthshade.

Sherman Update

I have been working hard and am getting close to the finishing line. I still need to add decals and a devlan mud wash.

A plethora of tanks

All 30 tanks are done and now painted matte black. I went to the hobby shop with my son and played three games. Shermans (me) against T-34s (Vince) I lost all three games. I need to work on my strategy.

Bodies done

I finished the Sherman bodies tonight. I am pretty happy with the way they turned out. Now I have to finish up the turrets.

Flames of War

I have not been painting. My son and I took up a new hobby, Flames of War. It is a world War 2 miniatures game.  I bought 15 Shermans and it isa ton of work to put them together. Then comes the fun part of painting them. Busy, busy, busy.

Charcoal

I know I have been inactive lately. I just have not been finding the time to be creative. I did steal away today for a couple of minutes and did this quick charcoal.

Red

Alright, here it is all finished. This is 11" x 15". I'm glad I went with the darker background.

I changed my mind

I wasn't happy with the watercolor so I touched it up.

Update

The watercolor portion of this painting is done, on to the acrylics. For this series I didn't want to use acrylics but I have changed my mind after the last painting. It just seemed to lack something.

Blondie

One done and three to go. I'm trying to keep these bright and fresh and simple. I have been getting a little tired of the busy acrylic additions.

Zazzle

Hey, ever wanted an apron with my art on it? An iphone case? Sneaker? Well now you can. I opened a zazzle store. I'm new to zazzle. It is a very cool site. Go check it out.

Hey Ladies

I like working in a series. It helps me stay loose. Here is the first step of a four part series.

Finished

That's right, I finally finished this piece. Yay!

RAC Fundraiser

The Ridgefield Arts Council is having their annual fundraiser at Toscana next week. I didn't have much time, but I created this poster for it. It is based on one of my paintings.

Men Sketch

I haven't had the chance to paint but I am trying to sketch some more.

Step done

Hi all, I know it has been a while but I am back to the palette. I have finished the watercolor portion of this piece. Next and final step, acrylics.

Bottles stage two

Here is my first layer of watercolor. More layers to come.

The bottles begin

I have a Cézanne like image in my head for these bottles. Here is the first step through my process, ink.
