So in my last post I asked if I should make more posts as I go instead of waiting to finish paintings… well oops, I didn’t do that at all. I have a couple paintings I can write posts for since its been so long, but I’m going to start with a quick painting I […]

Lately I’ve only been doing post on finished or paintings with a lot of work already done on them. I’m going to start trying to instead do posts as I go, so I can write a little more detail, and there isn’t as much time in between posts. So this is a new painting I […]

First let me point out that the paintings in this post are not my own. The rough copies on the left are mine, and intended to simplify the colors so that they can be viewed and analyzed more easily. The way we view any color in a painting is affected by all the colors that […]

This post is a follow up to my previous posts, Seaside Cave, and Experimental Oil Paint Pouring. You may want to check those posts out if you haven’t. This will be a fairly image heavy post, I’m going to post a lot of detail photos, and let those do a lot of the talking for […]

This is a new painting I started working on earlier this week. Its 16″x20″. I’ve been doing some paintings focused on water recently, but I think I enjoy painting the rocks more so I wanted to do something focused on rock formations. I’ll just go quickly through the process of the painting so far. I […]

This is a small, 12″x12″ painting I have been working on sort of in between working on my slightly larger paintings for the last week or 2. Unfortunately I forgot to take in progress photos during most sessions working on it, and only have 1 in progress picture. As with all my posts of finished […]

I wrote a post about this painting about 2 weeks ago, and here is the finished painting. I figured I would just start with the picture of the final painting before going into other things. I actually finished this about a week ago, but hadn’t gotten to writing a post, which I probably should have […]
