Painting 46 - 2026
The goal with this painting was to simplify my subject and to attempt to avoid my obsession with details. There's still plenty of detail in the piece but nothing like my typical painting would contain.

Painting 45 - 2026
My first plein air painting. This was done on my back patio facing across a deep ravine and creekbed at the homes on the other side. The massive black walnut tree sits at the bottom of my yard.

Painting 43 - 2026
This was a fairly quick painting with the focus on the subject only. The grass and background lack the detail most of my other works include.
My neighbor's backyard is fairly flat at the top then falls off a significant slope to the woods. He doesn't cut the slope, but every fall uses a bladed weed eater to cut it down. It's a task, but he knocks it out.

This piece was an attempt to work faster and deviate from my obsession with detail. I put 5 hours into this painting as compared to most of my previous works which involved weeks and months of adding tedious details and working on the values, colors, and shadows.

Painting 41 - 2025
The fifth piece in the series of paintings I make for my grandkids when they turn three years old. The goal is to capture their spirit and likes in a space within our home, so it will hopefully always serve as a reminder of when they came to visit. One of the first things Allie does when visiting is take off her shoes... it's time to get busy.
