Process of Art

Art is a continuing process. For me there is always another way to learn how to work with a media whether it is oil, graphite, acrylic or pastel. New surfaces to work with and different mediums to make the things work differently sometimes smoother more refined sometimes with more brushstrokes or lines.

Finishing up the Capitol series

This is the last in my series of Capitol paintings. It is large for a plein air work, 24 x 26 inches. It took four different days to get it to the point I could fine tune in the studio. I love painting plein air. My strokes stay fresher and my colors maintain a brightest that only natural light can produce.

Landscapes and Architecture

Life slowed down my painting for a couple of weeks but I am back on track. I have been exploring the Little Rock cityscape and the architecture of the State Capitol. Painting things so that they look like things you are actually seeing with the right perspective and values is a real challenge. Here are some recent plein air works.
