Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (Makeover)
(Click Image to Enlarge)
This painting was satisfactory as it was, but it was needling me, from the wall it was hanging. I had to repaint the sky to give it more punch. I’m glad I did it! 7″x 14″
(As it was before)
Mural of Heaven (WIP03)
The mural is progressing. I’m working my way down so I don’t need the scaffold anymore. I probably need to adjust some of the buildings. I can’t always see what I’m doing when I’m right up there next to it.
Hazy Summer Day (Final)
I’ve been working on the mural, but I managed to finish this up. I need to do more small paintings for hanging, I can sell them fairly quick.
Mural of Heaven WIP02
I tested colors for the city of gold. I’ve been using Irrodecent Gold And Pearl mixed with appropriate colors.

Today I started painting a mural of Heaven for St. Thomas More Parish in my hometown. It is 8.5’x 24′. The right half is shown above. I layed in the background across the top.
Placed in Annual Exhibit
I was awarded 3rd Place in my Hometown’s Annual Exhibit with this painting today. I’m thankful, you never know what jurors are going to like.
Ingall’s Homestead Plein Air
7″x14″ stretched canvas gallery edges
This weekend we had a Paint Out at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead. The weather was good, and I found a nice place in the shade. I would have liked some interesting clouds to paint but I worked with what was there. I did a synopsis of the terrain.
6″x6″ stretched canvas gallery edges
My paint was getting thicker on my palette by the time I started this one.
I made friends with a colt named Cinnamon, who begged for attention, tried to play with my stuff, and then she would charged around me, and settle in for a nap, each time moving closer until she was sleeping at my ankles.
We had over 60 artists in attendance. They kept us fed and we had live music in the evening. On Sunday we had an exhibit at the new Cultural Center in De Smet, SD. Quite unusual to have a building like that in such a small town.
Storm on the Horizon – Restart Underpainting WIP02
I’m on vacation a good part of July, but back at home at the moment. I went to make adjustments on my underpainting of the first version, and realized the lightly textured board was probably not going to be to my liking for this. Here is a redo of my underpainting on stretched canvas 18″x24″ I like the new composition better, I wanted more sky,a bigger storm cloud, and a lower horizon.
Storm on the Horizon – Underpainting WIP01
I made an underpainting, starting with a yellow background and glazing with warm purple. The actual painting will be much colder and darker. 14×18″ ampersand wood panel
