Across the Basin

This is my first painting of 2015. I am again using reference from my son's trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas. This time I took one of his photos and brought it into Photoshop and played with adding sunset shadows. The original reference was rather flat. I think it worked okay.

Big Bend Shadows

Another of a series of paintings I have done based on my son's recent trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas. Here is an arresting contrast between the distant hills and the sunlit foreground greenery. ​This is also my last painting of 2014.

The Lost Mine Trail

This is another painting based on reference from my son's trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas. Part of their hike was on the Lost Mine trail. I enjoy rendering rock textures.​

High Ridgeline

My son just got back from a trip to the Big Bend National Park in Texas. He took a lot of photos and this is from some of his reference. This park is the largest, yet least visited parks in the U.S. I was visually drawn to the long afternoon shadows and the sunlit rock faces.

Left Behind

This is a typical sight along rural highways.

Storage

This is from an onsite painting done in 2012. The subject is a shed near the cabin where we stay sometimes in Greenfield, Tennessee.

Youth Symphony

I painted this a long time ago. It was a cover illustration for a magazine featuring the Memphis Youth Symphony. They supplied me with several photos of past concerts and I put them together in this arrangement. This is the original illustration.
