Hay Day Study

This painting was inspired by a photo taken by my high school classmate Roger Jones. I did this color study after a notan study created on my Ipad. I was attracted to hay bales (as usual) and the light on the vehicles.

Vibrant Energy

Last weekend I bought these flowers and set them up on my kitchen counter. I have painted about 7 pieces so far. This one is on an 8 by 8 piece of Masa paper that had been gessoed. It makes for interesting textures and works well with watercolor. After all watercolor tends to do its on thing anyway.

I took this photo while exploring the Charleston, South Carolina Aquarium. I used my new Nikon D800 with an 50 MM lens. This is the inspiration for the next few paintings.
