SNOW DANCE

Done today, 24x3o" acrylic/canvas. Comments welcomed. Brian

Here's an 18x24" acrylic I finished yesterday from a photo of downtown Boone, NC. Would appreciate any C&C... I had to "make up" some of this as the part of the photo wasn't great. Not sure if it all reads ok.

Self-Portrait

Found this one while looking through paintings and thought it would be a fun one to post. Haven't painted for a day or so. Looks a bit mafia-like and I think my eyebrows need a trim. I think this was done last year sometime 16x20" oil. Thanks for looking. Brian

Direct Flow

Was dieing to play with paint and the brush.

Anticipation

Exploring colour. What I'm not so fond of, is the lack of interest in my edges, and brush strokes.

18x24 oil on canvas.

A big thanks

You know I was reading the comments, and Elliot said in one of his "thanks team" It just gave me pause to reflect on how grateful I am to have the regulars (that would be you Brian Ralph Asma Elliot sometimes Page, Steve and Dave) that comment on our work. It's great knowing you are out there, other wise (at this point in time) my paintings would just sit in the studio. Anyways, just a big thanks. Happy painting!!

Here's a 24x36 acrylic. It's been probably a month since I picked up the brushes last--just haven't had a whole lot of free time lately. Anyway, this one was a lot of fun for me. It's not huge, but it's actually the biggest canvas I've painted.
