Hi, My load page was buried on my computer. :) LOL So here is this weeks Paintings from the week of 22nd of June My painting from Photograph is coming along. I still have trouble with skin, I would think with all the life drawing that I have been doing this would not be a problem. I should be able to create something. To cut my self some slack I have more experince with adults, second it's difficult to paint or draw a family member. Knowing this I did start with a sketch. Peace Have a good week mb

Monday night a few weeks ago. 5x7 oil on canvas This past Monday I was celebrating with Terry his Birthday.
For some reason bloger will not let me down load pictures at this moment. I will try again later. Peace mb
Hi Thanks for visiting my blog and to my friends in Spain. I took Monday off to celebrate Terry's birthday with him I will show a painting that I had done a few weeks ago and forgot to post. On Wednesday nights I'm in charge of opening and getting the drawing group going, also we are in the middle of a big fundraiser for our group. Real People 2008 Celebrating Faces and Figures T hru the Arts is a national juried show, so lots needs to be done. I suspect that the next few weeks will be hectic . I managed to do one painting. Today I worked on a painting from a photo, I have trouble with this, but I need to learn to do it. Nothing like painting from life............ I will post them Friday, since all my photos this evening turned out too dark. Not enough light. I have been working on a personal film for many years and I think I have an idea for the ending. Yea...but it has to wait until fall, by then I should be moved in to my new studio space. Peace mb
This was the week of the 15 th of June Hope you enjoy, I sure did. Very busy but also prolific. I'm struggling with style, I have been told to just paint even the gestures to gain a style. Only if I could make the brush sing like the pastels and charcoal in my gestures. My goal for how ever long it takes. Have a good week. Peace mb

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for taking a look at my current work. The plan is to post once or twice a week the work that I have done during that period. This will help keep my friends and family apprised of my work I have a film and animation background, so painting is somewhat a new adventure for me. Have a good week Peace mb
