Bunny Bunch

I found a reference photo on paintmyphoto.com and had to test my design ability. The baby rabbits were camouflaged in their background in the photo, so my job was to bring them out, while maintaining some of the same background blending feel.

Model T Roadster Runabout

My boys and I took a side trip a few years ago to see the Dixie Gun Works in Union City, Tennessee. This is a museum full of old guns and other artifacts…and a separate large warehouse room full of antique beautifully restored cars.

I took some photos while I was there and found this old Model T. I looked it up and it is called a Roadster Runabout.

Gray Day at Reelfoot

Reelfoot Lake is a natural lake in northwest Tennessee. It was formed in the 1811 earthquake. 

My dad used to take my brother and me fishing up there. We would catch a lot of big round bream and a few bass. A few years ago, I took my boys up there and we took a walk and took some photos. Those are cypress trees and cypress "knees" sticking out of the water.

Paintings on eBay

I have 4 paintings on ebay right now…starting bid $20.00. Go to ebay and do a search on "Jeff Atnip".

Lady on a horse

Here is the first lady on a horse I have ever painted…if I remember correctly. Anyway, I was looking through some photo reference I had taken a couple of summers ago. This was at a small town 4th of July parade. I eliminated all of the distracting background elements and concentrated on finding the colors and shapes to help highlight this subject.

Early for Easter...

Here is the first rabbit I have ever painted. I started on a cherry red acrylic background and painted oils on top of that. I like how it turned out. I found reference for this on paintmyphoto.com.
