Ridiculousness

As you know, I am not an oil paint fan. But I still do it from time to time. Last year I told my son that I would do a painting for him similar to one he saw in a store.

So, I began with the task of finding a large enough canvas that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Check! Next, I painted the whole thing gray. After that dried I began the process of figuring out how to lay it out and give it some drama and meaning. I looked at a lot of photographs dealing with the theme of the highway leading off into the horizon.( If you get a chance, go check out Tau Zero , this guy is spectacular! )

So far, this is as far as I have gotten…… stay tuned for more!

Cowboy Storm

While I have been “incapacitated” with my sprained ankle, I’ve taken advantage of my time and done drawings, which the last few entries show and I had a hankering to do a painting. So, I did what I call Cowboy Storm. The piece is actually 11×14 but my little flatbed scanner is only 8.5×11.5…….. sorry.
