I decided to start this blog for a couple of reasons. I wanted to capture my thoughts about paintings I was working on, and to be able to detail my adventures in painting.
I have been painting landscapes in oil off and on for a while now, but have taken it up this last January again. It has been a good start, but let's see where it goes.

And away we go ...

"Three trees and the blueberry fields - South Alouette" 16 x 20

This is a spot near where I walk Champ. It caught my eye and I painted it as small 8 x 10 (see below). I tried some new techniques, primarily mixing the paint on the canvas (lay down some blue, and then work the yellow in to create my greens), and was happy with the result. Enjoy.
