Untitled

Here's the coloured version. I had alot of fun with the oils. I can't yet imagine how an artist chooses just one style or look. I don't think I will ever be able to, I have so much fun with it all.

Sunday Afternoon

This is painted from a ref photo i took
while in Tubac yesterday,its 16x20

OK I shot this picture today, which is always fun, to paint a fresh image. I thought I would try oil, as I really wanted to take my time with the value study. With acrylics I often feel rushed and stressed. So my guess is now I will have to wait for a week or so, before I go back in....if I go back in. I think I will. My guess is the paint will lift if I go in too soon, is this right?? Anyone?? I also enjoyed the variety in the edges I could get with little effort, and I find there is much more subtlety, which I am afraid I will loose when I go back in. So I am really trying Brian methods with oils and alot of time inbetween. 24X30

FREIGHTER

This one done today, 24x30" acrylic. Tried to keep the colors mutted and soft for an atmosphere effect.

This is a 20x16" acrylic on panel. I was kinda playing around here. I was going to cut the panel just below the figure's knee to make it 12x16" but now I don't know. I wish I had a little more space above the figure. Anyway... I'd appreciate any criticism and any thoughts on cutting/cropping, etc.
