New Portfolio Page

Hey everyone,  these are a couple of paintings I did a few years ago.  I just put them and a collection of other images on my new portfolio page.  Check it out if you haven't already!

Where Go the Boats?

Dark brown is the river, golden is the sand.

It flows along forever, with trees on either hand.

Green leaves a-floating, castles of the foam,

Boats of mine a-boating- where will all come home?

On goes the river, and out past the mill,

Away down the valley, away down the hill.

Away down the river, a hundred miles or more,

Other little children shall bring my boats ashore.

Where Go the Boats?

Robert Louis Stevenson

Wow, its been a really long time since my last post!  I've been neglecting my blog in order to get some personal projects done- this being one of them.  This was a project that my wife came up with to give me something to paint.  I really wanted to try something in a picture-book format but I didn't want to tie up too much time on a longer story.  It was a great opportunity for me to work with a sequence of images and try to carry the story through.  The paintings are about 14 X 25, under-painted with acrylic and then finished with alkyd. Overall it was a great process, though pretty humbling, and I'm excited to try my hand at it again soon.
