Clock Redo

This is one of my favorite oil paintings! My sister-in-law gave me her old clock. I sanded off the top finish. I applied an acrylic paint base, then used my oil paints to make it look like wood. The before picture is not the greatest. I forgot to take a before picture and happened to find this Christmas picture with the old clock in it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out! It looks great in my living room!

Black and White painting

This painting was so much fun. Painting in black and white again brought back everything I learned in college. This painting was taken from a photo of my mother-in-law's parents. Her mother(in the painting) passed away this past year. Her father ( in the painting) passed away many years ago. I thought that painting this would be a great Christmas present. 

Here is the painting...

Finished Mountain Goat Painting

I finished the mountain goat painting. It is a 24x36 with King's Peak in the background. Very challenging painting but a great learning experience.

More Progress

It has taken me a while to get to where I am now.  I have been super busy lately.  Hopefully I can pick up and get more accomplished with this painting.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.  They are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
