Stormy


Beginning of a new painting. It's a view from a plane of a storm coming in over south Texas.

A second cloud!


The beginning of another cloud painting. This one comes from a video I shot through the windshield of the car while travelling to Death Valley. Still a lot of work to do on it.

The start of another new little painting. I get nervous when I don't have at least a few paintings in the beginnings stages where I can experiment a little.

Little Painting


Just started this little painting this morning. I think I will keep it fairly minimal and just add a bit more detail to the girl on the right. The image is from a video I shot in Death Valley. Oil on canvas. 21"x29".

Progress





The cloud is finished! The colors are better than in the photo.
Progress on the big Tallinn painting. It WILL be finished by the end of May.
Progress on the Death Valley painting. The bottom image is my palette the day I painted the sun flares. Not my usual colors. Still lots of work to do on this one.
