A new book just hit the shelves, last week. Buddy's Bedtime Battery by Chirstina Geist (published by Random House) is my latest book and I want to take you behind the pages to see how the project progressed.

I'm revisiting an old piece with this oil painting. Originally this lady pilot was a digital sample for my portfolio. I'd love to do a series of these WWII era vehicle paintings. The image is 36 x 24 inches.

This was the first wooden palette I ever owned and it has seen me through quite a few paintings. I may put more colorful globs around the edge, but right now I think she's finished.

Not many posts for 2012. It was quite a busy year and I'll have to write more about it later. Some of you may remember the above painting in it's pencil stage earlier this year. Below, just for fun, an acrylic painting experiment done for a blog background. I believe it's a castle in Ireland. Happy New Year everyone!

The most wonderful aspect of God is his heart to give good things to his children. He does this through those who are led by their hearts and make an effort to reach out to others. The world is so full of need and regardless of what beliefs you have we should all do more to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I have another website now set up for the purpose of transforming paintings

Oil painting commission: Dog Portrait - Bear Cox Animal owners are pretty fussy about their animals and I have been reluctant to do animal portrait commissions for quite some time. Someone asked me recently if I would and I relented. This portrait was for a special 21st gift. I have to say I did enjoy doing it and maybe will consider future commissions. My fee for a portrait this size is

Today’s Day 2 of Art Camp and I think we are moving to half day camps. Although I would love to go all day making art and experimenting with new mediums, the Woog seems to lose interest after lunch and Ocee seems to be a bit fussy in the early afternoon. So, we’ll just focus on about 4 hours a day of art. Ocee didn’t make anything this morning due to napping plus today’s mediums were not a good fit for him. I might try something after his afternoon nap.
Today we finished up our boot paintings from yesterday:
And we did some scratch board art:
The Woog is giving this piece to a friend who will be coming over on Saturday to “make a music video.” Not sure what that involves.
While doing this piece I heard this about 50 times “Momma, that lady is really freaking me out.”
Tomorrow we’re devoting the day to Junk A Doodles!

With only a week and a half left of summer vacation, this week was declared “Art Camp” in the studio and today was Day 1. We started off the morning with the Woog visiting my oil painting class. I painted while she sketched and looked at the techniques of the other women in the class. I even let her paint a little on my painting. We then came back to the studio and watched (pretty much in fast forward) a video of the biography of Pablo Picasso. We then started with the art!
First was oil painting of the Woog’s red cowboy boot (still in progress):
We had to “erase” her’s a couple of times until she got the hang of it. Ocee slept during this part of camp. probably better that way. I don’t think a 6 month old oil painting would have been a good idea.
Then when we couldn’t do anymore to our pieces until they dried some, sowe moved onto oil pastels:
Ocee join in after his nap. He took to the oil pastels fairly well by stabbing the paper with them
Tomorrow we have another full day of it so stay tuned!

Day 5 of oils and I went in to scrap the entire piece. The piece I’m currently working on is not something I’d ever hang up in the house, so I decided to take the day and just experiment with “gooping” (that is the official term I believe Van Gogh used – j/k) the paint on and mixing it on the canvas. Using different brushes and getting a really loose technique going. Next week I’ll start on a new painting. I also experimented with some brighter more electric color. It’s not much to look at, but here’s how it looked by the end of class:

Day 4 of oils and making more progress. Nothing spectacular but I can’t wait to move onto another piece where I plan to built up more color and texture and actually do a piece I’d hang in my house. I won’t have another class until the end of July but hopefully I’ll be able to finish it then.
If you missed my giveaway post yesterday, check it out!

Day 3 of oils and I’m just doing a still life I set up and photographed in the studio. Didn’t get too much done yesterday on it but here’s the work in progress. Thought I’d do one more still life and maybe try a landscape next time. Looking at it now, I can see my star is off a good bit so I’ll tackle it next week.
