Antietam II

Oil on birch panel 18 x 24, in progress.
This is a painting I started over the summer, and has been worked on in between several other projects.  The plan is to have it completed by the end of the year.

Scratching The Brain

An old drawing and painting from a few years ago.  This was a piece that sat in my head for over a year.  I think about it now with winter on the way, and all of the other old places that I see everyday in West Virginia.  It is time to find another lost dream.

Study For a Painting

This is a detail shot of a drawing for an oil painting I am getting ready to start.  I will be working from a photo, so it will be interesting to see how much life the final painting will have.  I am doing my least favorite part of the process, which is prepping the linen.  I am working on a slightly tighter weave of linen that I usually work on.

Pulley

I painted this watercolor over the weekend in my sketchbook.  For several months, I have been carrying around a little kit with handy watercolor pencils and a small tin of regular watercolors, along with an assortment of pencils.  It is a challenge to sketch on the spot, rather than rely on a camera to capture an image. 

Dunkle's Gulf

This is a painting I just finished for a wonderful customer in Pittsburgh.  The truck is a 1938 Ford that was beautifully restored.  I placed the truck in front of Dunkle's Gulf, a service station in Bedford PA that dates back to 1933.  It sits on the old Lincoln Highway.
