Hello friends! I’m back again! Trying to get back into being more consistent. This new year has been interesting to say the least. The Falls is painting #87 and is named after the waterfall that leads to this little area. This painting takes you to a small clearing off of a hiking trail next to …
Hello friends and Happy New Year! I haven’t been posting as frequently on this blog. I have been doing a lot of art, however. But between that and the holidays, I haven’t found the time to sit down and blog about the art I’ve been doing. So before I get caught up on all the …
Hello friends! It seems like it’s been awhile since I posted or I haven’t been posting frequently. I have been a busy artist over the past month or so. I’ll have to take another post to tell you all about it. Autumn Covered Bridge is painting number 86. You’re driving along the back roads on …
A few weeks back, I had an idea while watching Bob Ross before bed. Every night while I fall asleep, I put on a Bob Ross episode. It never fails to knock me out. I last maybe 5 minutes before I’m out. I can’t recall exactly which episode it was but he was doing a …
Now THIS is an Autumn scene. I haven’t seen this much foliage color since I lived in New England. As I mentioned in my last post, living in the south, I don’t see much if any fall foliage. However, Bob taught me that I can create my own world. Bill Alexander taught me that I …
Supple sky, fluffy trees and playful rushing river are created in this autumn painting, simply from correcting common mistakes on canvas “This is your world. You’re the creator. Find freedom on this canvas.” – Bob Ross. The Inspiration Growing up in New England, I became quite accustomed to seasonal weather which included Autumn along with …
Now here is a surreal landscape. Just imagine camping in the north woods in order to catch a glimpse of the Milky Way galaxy like you see in so many photos. While waiting for the sun to set fully, you fall asleep briefly then wake up to this in the sky! What would be your …
After a relaxing day at the beach you decide it’s time to pack up and head out for dinner. As you’re walking along the path, you turn around one last time and catch the moment as the sun is going down producing stunning colors in the sky. You are looking at pastels. Hers is painting …
“We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.” If you’ve ever watched Bob Ross, you’ve probably heard him say that a time or two. In the case of this painting, that’s exactly what happened. A happy accident. Volcanic Falls is painting #81. It is an original painting inspired by a photo found online. It’s not …
Can’t you just picture yourself at a place like this? Perhaps you’re walking off the beaten path of a hiking trail and you are rewarded by this incredible sight! So secluded, there’s no sign that anyone has been here. Almost like you’re walking in a dream. A fantastical view! Have you ever seen anything like …
We’ve all painted with watercolors once in our lives. Right? Tell me you’ve never got to paint with those watercolor trays from Crayola or whatever. They give those to kids because they’re so easy to clean up. When I got older, I first tried watercolors because I thought it would be easy. Boy was I …
I’ve never been very good at drawing but I’ve always wanted to learn. That’s why I enrolled in an art class my senior year in high school. Thinking I’d be learning some basic art skills, imagine my disappointment when this class was all about abstract art. As you can imagine, I didn’t learn any art …
I stepped waaaayyyyyy out of my comfort zone and tried a monochrome portrait. This is far from my style but sometimes you have to try something new. This was my first ever attempt at a portrait. I certainly have a whole lot to learn but I learned so much already. I didn’t prepare beforehand or …
Walking along the edge of the forest in the late afternoon as the sun is going down, you feel the cool crispness of the autumn air as you walk towards the meadow. There are some fallen leaves of various fall colors on the ground. Oh yes. Fall is in full swing. Hint of Autumn is …
This scene takes you deep into the wood where you come upon a small clearing and a babbling brook. Across the stream, a beam of sunlight shines upon the meadow beckoning you to explore further. But how do you get across? Deep Forest Meadow is painting #78. It was painted live on Twitch. Though this …
