Progress....

Well, I made some progress today, but not much. With my wife at work and my 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter running rampant throughout the home like wild beasts as I try to paint, I'll take what I can get. I had to paint in bursts. During one of my breaks chasing the kids down I got sidetracked by some older work I came across. I shot some pics and will post some later. Very different than the murals and kids art that I've been painting but I am interested in discovering how that older work informs the stuff I'm doing now. Anyway, here is a pic of what little progress was made on "The Ice Skater and the Ermine."

WinterFair!

This Friday and Saturday I will be at WinterFair selling some original paintings and prints for kids as well as some holiday stuff I've done. If you are in Louisville swing by and say hello. More info can be found here.

Nighttime for the Astronaut (sketches)

or maybe I will do another nighttime set. "Nighttime for the Astronaut. " Probably won't be as time-consuming but I am pretty heavy on paintings for boys and have nothing painted for girls. Again, these are pretty rough sketches but hopefully you get the idea. I am probably going to regret putting these out there one day. Maybe it pulls back the curtain too much?

Nighttime for the Woodsman: Spring (in progress)

more pics of the of the process. I made a lot of minor changes mainly to do with color in order to get enough contrast between this painting "spring" and the next one, obviously, "summer".

Start of a new Painting

Back in August I posted some sketches for my new "Moany and Lalla's" series "Nighttime for the Woodsman" I finally got around to starting on painting and took a bunch of pics of the process. Here are the first few.

Sketches for "The Mariner and the Squid"

After posting some of those sketches I thought I would post some others and the finished painting. Here is the "The Mariner and the Squid" from my nighttime series.

Sketches for "Nighttime for the Woodsman" series of paintings

I've been trying to put together some new work for my print shop Moany and Lalla's. This is a new "nighttime"series, "Nighttime for the Woodsman". Here are the sketches and a pic of the first drawing on canvas.

I just added some new sizes to some of my prints in the shop you can see here!
