Bearded fellow with bird on head and shoulder, 16x20"

Hi,

I painted this yesterday. Unfortunately I had to do so many error corrections that the original burnt sienna does not show through. Ah, well, at least I can always paint more and learn. Thanks for looking. Happy New Year!

Ice 11x14

11x14 study i did yesterday. I wanted to concentrate more on the

a palette knife while doing this impression

CHICKEN WITH JUGS

Done tonight,"Chicken with Jugs" 24x30' acrylic/canvas. Painted from a photo on Wet Canvas. Thx to the contributor. Comments welcomed. Brian

This is 24x24". I was feeling a little frustrated with my painting in the last week or so. I think I was painting with no focus or energy. I decided to go back to a basic 7-stepper and feel like it got me back on track. Thanks Brian!

Actually all the paintings that I have posted were painted last summer or last fall Brian. At the moment I am not painting and into photography. When I do go back to painting I will try to get out of the way and let my higher creative self decide which style to paint in.

Warm regards, happy, happy, holidays and happy painting to you and everyone!

A few years ago, I didn't know I could paint. I met Brian Simons, and he showed me how. This week I went live on an exciting new online gallery called ArtQuiver that invited me to show with them. Brian, you're an amazing artist, teacher, and friend... thanks for everything!

'River Rapture'

Hi Everyone!

Well it has been many a moon since last I posted here,

but I have been busy painting none the less...

This piece is the fifth in a series of paintings I completed

this fall that where inspired by a late September

plein air excursion to the Cowichan River

here on southern Vancouver Island.

Oil on canvas 24 x 30.
