Watching You Watching Me

Another longhorn from my time spent at Walnut Creek Preserve. This one was a beautiful color. Unlike one, this one stayed away from the painters and just watched up from a distance.

Lone Bale

I liked everything about this composition. Of course the hay bale but the sky and trees overhead were all in the mix.

Springs Bounty

Yes I am still playing with the hay bales. I just love the shapes. I'm working with a view catcher and 8 by 10 color photos to design my composition along with a value sketch. I usually work with copic markers for my studies. I decided on pencil just to change it up a little.

Berkeley Marina (plein air)

I struggled with this painting from value study to painting. The scene was busy and I really wasn't very successful in narrowing my view. I just concentrated on getting the shapes not the overall boats. It was beautiful outside and I appreciated being out in it..

Lime with Tea

This is a little practice painting I did for a larger painting. I was at an annual Christmas luncheon at Judges Hill here in Austin. The waitress had brought me lemon or lime for my tea. Of course I loved the shadows and colors. It screamed to be painted.

Watercolor Tree One

Commerce Fall landscape.

Independence Day 4

This was the last piece that I completed on the sea wall in Pacifica, CA. I had my guerrilla painter box set up on the wall and I was standing. I like the way this one turned out. I used a large brush and lots of wet on wet washes. It took about 30 minutes. I could go back in and do some cleanup work but I think this one stands on its own right now.

Quarter Two

This is the second in the series of the divided picture.

Jesus Coming Soon

I was on my way home from work on Barton Springs Road and this guy was standing on the median holding this sign. Of course I had my camera and snagged a shot before the light changes. It was a cold brisk day but this guy was bound and determined to get his point across.

Crossing

This is a busy street scene from New York. I must admit that I have broken the rule of not painting from photos taken by another person. I sent my cousin in New York some disposable cameras and told him to send them back when finished. Its interesting to try and figure out the motivation for the shot.
