I get so excited when painting a cloudscape I paint the first layer very quickly. I like to build up texture and color one layer at a time. I decided to blend the hard edges of the palette knife work with small circles. This works well when painting on the hard wood service. Check out the texture on this one. It was fun.
A Light Touch Sky 12x12 oil on canvas

Water Lily Garden 30x24 oil on Canvas
A visit to Clark Gardens in Weatherford, Texas inspired this painting. I painted on location and still have not finished with all the painting ideas from that trip. It was a hot summer morning and the perfect place to set up my easel. I created a couple while there and use those as color studies. This was painted in the studio using brushes, palette knifes and layers and layers of colorful paint.

Morning Graze 11x14 Oil on Canvas
I created this in the studio from a fuzzing photo I took while flying down the highway. For safety reasons I should mention I was a passenger and not driving. The dramatic sky and hint of the cows on the hillside were enough to spark my creative desire.
