Oil Rig

I included the birds because they were actually there.  When I was working, I thought they were bats flying around at 3am in the morning.

Sunflowers

I'm working on some more paintings I thought were finished.  I think this version is better.  There is more warmth in the shadows and better edges.

Here is the original post from January.

Rig at Sunset

The sunsets in West Texas are beautiful.  

Oil Rig - Pecos

This is my oil rig.  We are out in West Texas for awhile.  I've been talking about painting the Rig for over a year now so here is my first one.  I did a study of this at the rig and worked on this in my studio.  This measures 8" x 10".

Oil Painters of America Art Show - Insight Gallery

I drove to Fredericksberg, TX. for the OPA juried art show.  I did not have a piece in the show but I wanted to see the wonderful artwork and all the artists attending.  The artwork was humbling to say the least.  The quality was outstanding. There are so many talented artist out there who are a part of the OPA.

More Roses

These are my Roses.  I tried to set a time limit of two hours to do this but it ended up around 4 hours.  I'm happy with it.  This is the most extensive rose painting I've done.

Molly in Cloak revisited

I was looking back on some old photos and I came upon this painting of Molly from 2 years ago.  I should have stopped at this point. However, it didn't look look exactly like her.  Click Here for the original post. Below is the finished version I'm not really happy with.
