It's a beautiful, sun shiny, day out this afternoon. It's the kind of day that makes you want to grab your paint supplies and head outside to bask in the beauty of nature and create a piece of art too. So many artists feel that plein air painting is the way to go to advance you skills faster and better. I have a tough time trying to paint outside when it's chilly, or hot and buggy - hey, isn't that all our choices here in Texas lately?. I'v decided this is the year to get tough and get past that and "do it anyway". So, you'll be seeing some plein air paintings on here this year. I have several portraits that I'm either starting on or getting back to work on. They'll be on here soon. There are also 7 art competitions that I'm wanting to enter this year and I will post that work on here as well. So, in a nut shell, that's the schedule for 2009. Today's painting is the one I just finished up on Monday and is now at the American Bank of Texas in Seguin. Let me know what you think of it.

JOHNNY
I took a chance today and did a 1 day portrait. Didn't know how it would turn out, but figured I didn't have to show the picture that it came from if it wasn't similar enough. My son had been in one of his guitar lessons and I was sitting around waiting from it to end when another instructor, Johnny, picked up his guitar and started playing. His music was awesome and while I listened it occured to me that he'd make a great painting subject and,I happened to have my camera with me. Johnny let me take his photo and gave his consent to let me paint his portrait. I showed it to him today, before it was finished, and he seemed to like it. Here's both the photo and the painting.
