I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the
United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor
murals and illustrated over twenty books.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

This is beautiful, very similar to my local countryside, this could be the Royal Forest of Dean
Thank you, Karie-Ann (pencilportraits.) Your drawings are lovely.
Reminds me of canal boat holidays we took when I was a kid, chugging serenely through the countryside counting water voles along the banks.
A lovely study. You really got the cows down. I know from experience they move just enough to be frustrating when drawing.
Sounds serene, Steve--where was that?
That's so true, Onpainting. The trick to painting them is to place them in the far distance and turn them into tiny rectangular globs of paint.
I like the square format for these landscapes Don. I think it gives strength to the composition. Very nice light on this one.
Thanks, Sheila. There is something about a square, isn't there?
Cows and water. So peaceful. You do a fabulous job.
