PORTRAIT OF MATT

This is a portrait of my son's guitar teacher, Matt, at the New Braunfels Music shop. The background of the painting was changed from the inside of the music shop to an audience. Posted is the photo and the painting. Let me know what you think of it. I'm be painting several other portraits from there in the next few weeks and will post them as they're completed.

THE SEASONS BOUNTY - PAINTING #34

How time flies! We're almost at the end of our 7 weeks of "a painting a day" series. I'm going to take a week off and spend some time with my kids and grandkids. My son has been telling me he misses me because I've spent too many evenings painting straight through. Then it'll be back to work (fun) as usual, although they'll be larger in size and they probably won't be completed in a day. Hopefully this fast paced painting has been like a speed drill for a typist. Now it's time to focus again on details and getting everything just right.

DEEP IN THOUGHT

This is painting #29 and it's an 8"x 10" acrylic of a cat we used to have. His name was Butterscotch and he was an incredibly loving, beautiful cat inside and out. Today was a great day to paint his portrait and now he's immortalized. Tomorrow's painting will be another surprise. Hope you like surprises!

PLAY WITH ME! - # 20

This little guy is actually a girl. Her name was Leia - after the princess in Star Wars- and she was our dog for 13 years. She was part Corgie mix and part Australian Shepherd and sure was a beauty! She was also incredibly ornery. After someone asked me to paint a puppy I started looking through our old photo books and that sure take me back a ways! I'd post the original pictures to share with you, but, we had a lousy camera back then and they're hard to see -or is that just that I need new glasses?. Anyway, I'm working on ideas for this weeks paintings this afternoon. If you have anything you'd like to see me paint, please let me know.

LITTLE RED

I see this horse almost every day on my way into town. Actually, it's neighbor's and he has a field of them and they're all so beautiful that so it's hard to pick just one. Horses are one of my favorite subjects to paint! They're so majestic and yet so naturally down to earth.
