Catching Up

Yes, it has been a while hasn't it? Been busy with framing for the most part but have managed to get a few paintings done. I've really been enjoying doing portraits. I used to do a lot of figure work to include portraits years ago but for some reason strayed away from it. Of course all of the portrait work was commissioned so once the painting was gone I had no examples. The photographs I had of my earlier portraits (as well as most of my other work) were lost due to water damage in the basenment some years ago leaving me with no examples of the work. Thank the good Lord for digital. With regular backups I now have the images on a variety of storage devices to protect against loss.

Since we last visited, I've done another portrait of a friend (in oil)as well as a gallery wrap 36 x 24 of the Black Canyon NP (also in oil) which is located nearby. I paint for the Park Service and this is one that will go to print for them. Today I'm working on a watercolor. It is a commission that a lady requested for her husband's birthday. I can't give out any details but once I get it done and sent off I'll post the photo.

In the meantime, I'll photograph the portrait and the Black Canyon piece and get them posted in the next day or two.

Thanks for stopping by.
