Adirondack Abstraction


16x20" Acrylic on canvas.

I'm getting fed up doing these landscape abstractions. I'm going back to the Seven Steps method of Brian's for the next painting which will be a big one 24x48" with the brush. This is the only canvas I have left because I ran out of canvas experimenting and I don't feel like running out and buying any more today. My wife and I like the picture and if I can pull it off I will try to sell it to her for the price of a bingo session but she is a really tough sell.

Cherry Suite


This is a work in progress...18x24 oil on canvas. I wanted to give oil a try and something different -comical and fun. This is one of Victoria's character homes, built in 1890 on Catherine Street. What do you think? Sharka :)

Coast 16x20


This is one i finished up tonite
comments welcome
24x24" acrylic. I'd been wanting to set up these boots of mine in a still life for some time. I was just waiting to break them in enough.
I did try to tone the white down focusing on warm and cool. I don't think I did great, but the painting does look better. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph this one in natural light, so part of the difference is due to different light. Anyway, thanks for the help.
