I'm calling it finished...

I'm getting back in the groove and decided that today was the day to finish my friend's painting.  I had originally put in the vintage gas pump as he asked, but it didn't look right.  Today I decided I would put it in another location and then cover it with vines.  I added some rocks to the field and some more grasses and flowers and I'm ready to call it done...

I hope he likes it. Enough said.


It's been a while...

OK, it's been a while since I posted and the main reason is that I got sick with N.V.D and after being up all night finally decided I had to go to the hospital in the ambulance at 5a.m. one Wednesday morning. Five day stay, meds, two weeks recovery at home and finally I think I'm feeling better.

I had one day that I felt like painting and I have ended up with this, so far...

I like the photograph of the painting much better than the actual art and I think it is because it seems very dark and brooding in person. I'm no where near done, but wanted to show you were I am now.

Lots more layers to go on...the trees especially need some filling in and I am not yet happy with the lights and darks, so lots more to think about.

Maybe I'll paint some more tomorrow. Until then, have fun and enjoy life.
