" Two Sunsets" 18x24 acrylic

This shell has been around a while....I have wanted to come up with a painting with the shell as the focal point,,,but did not want it to look like every other sea shell painting that we have all seen.   I guess if you study it long enough,,,something will come,,,and it did.   I will be painting a much larger canvas , similar idea soon.  

Long Horn & Magpie / background change

After finishing the Long Horn...and seeing it in different settings,  the background of solid gray,, just really bothered me.   The painting  needed a horizon line and color for the sky and foreground, now I'm happy with it.

Above the Tree Line

Long Horn & Magpie

Beginning of several longhorns I will be painting....this is a first, but should be fun.

Long Horns

I was invited to photograph a herd of longhorns for a upcoming painting.  What a day on the most beautiful ranch overlooking Morro Bay.   Very nice folks that own the three hundred acres of pure wonderment this time of year.   Starting the painting today and will post the first pass soon.
