Texas Wind or Ruffled Blue? I love this painting and the way it moves. Blue is one of my favorites colors and anytime I see something with blue in it I want to paint it. Maybe it's the water element in me.

LARGE painting commish

Morning Flight oil on canvas
Here is the top portion of one of the paintings I am doing for a client. There are 4 in all. This one is 48x60! Yikes.....I am still blocking in clouds and letting them dry for a day or two. Will be working on the landscape later today

well I took the dive and jumped off the cliff and started my own BLOG!! I have had it started for over a year now and never published it. wow...I hope I can keep up with painting daily. That is the biggest challenge I have ever put on myself. Hopefully I will be diligent and successful. I am working on a LARGE 48x60 painting for a client and it scares the heck out of me. Actually did a drawing yesterday and it felt good to hold a pencil (mechanical) oin my hand again although my neck is killing me. This is one of my students......love this kid.
