Painting of Josh - Finished

Thought I would post a finished version of Josh.  I still plan to do another painting based off of the other sketch that I had posted earlier.  This particular piece along with Maycie have been accepted into the national juried show "Emerald Spring Exhibition" put on by the Emerald Art Center in Springfield, Or.  -so that was pretty nifty news. 

Here is another recent little piece.  I pass by this train-yard in Eugene often and it always seems to be most interesting to me when the weather is nasty.  Kind of reminds me of a ghost town.

    Dennis,
    I absolutely love this painting; the subject, colors, composition and brushwork. There is nothing that doesn't work.
    Thank you so much for commenting on my blog. Now I have found you.

    Dennis,
    I was speaking of the train, but of course, you have mastered the portrait of Josh.

    Karen & Julie - Thank you for your kind words. It's so great to meet other artists online and to see all the different varieties of styles and techniques. It's like going to a "pot-luck" where you take a bite of everything.(at least I try to!)
