Roof Jam
I've had this floating around the studio as a study ever since we lived in Seattle. Finally decided to paint it, keeping the detail simple as possible. It wanted to be 18 x 24, so I let it be that.
It's always an adventure...

Charcoal study - Grain depot
Grain Depot
This is another perspective and value study for an oil painting. It's a fictitious place out of my Kansas boy mind.

Saturday Market
SAturday Market
I painted a different view of this scene last year. This is a weekend market in the Village of Sarlat, France, known for their foie Gras. I did this primarily with a pallet knife, trying to stay loose but capture the essence of the energy that was there.

Kansas River Bank, Study 1
Kansas River Bank
This is an 8 x 10 oil composition study I did in one sitting last evening, just to practice really if for no other reason. I want to capture depth, color and a study in reflection, all with minimal strokes.
I always do a charcoal study first, or some sort of value sketch. This one I blurred the image in Photoshop to test the value and depth....
The composition pretty much works, and I like how the reflections turned out.
On to the next
It's always an adventure...
