Merry Christmas!
Thank you to all my collectors who have made this such a great year.

I wanted to show you this amazing picture. Taken by my home. When I first started getting these, I thought it was dust and cleaned my lens. Another time I thought it was rain, but as you can see it is neither. I have since found out they are called Orbs. Very interesting isn't it?

Welcome again! I have moved on with my oil paint. Working with the building more sienna was added, along with the back wall. The pots and flowers are coming alive, with sun kissed wisteria hanging overhead, more work to do there, but it is starting to create the atmosphere I love, a peaceful serene place to rest and rejuvenate. Thank you for joining me! See you next time with the completed painting.

I forgot to take pictures of each step of the oil process. Here I have done the sky, mountains and ocean. Plus added some color to the building and table.

I am back to posting after a week or so of my family coming in for Thanksgiving. I decided to add a darker color to the building with the acrylic's before moving on to the oils. I really like the way the under/color will show through the oils when applied.

Hello again! I have finished my smaller paintings, I will throw some of them up on the blog for you to view when the weather clears and I can get crisp photo's.
Here I have adjusted some elements of the painting. Finished my acrylic under painting, setting the mood for the oils. I think I will really like this one, peaceful, warm sun and an ocean view... my favorite.
Thanks for stopping by! See you soon.

here we have information on the spraying I have previously photographed.

All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third it is accepted as self evident.

Here I decided I wanted this Tuscan porch to look out over the Mediterranean. I will probably add some sail boats, birds or whatever hits my fancy as I flow through my paint brush. Thanks for joining me!

You can see I have already started changing the elements that do not work for me.

OK, I have a new work on the easel, in between some new smaller ones I am making for Christmas at eBay. Keep an eye out for those I think you will really like them.
Here is my initial sketch.
