Hi everyone, thank you for visiting my blog. I am currently working on several art new projects, as well as experimenting with some new techniques I've recently learned. I love painting, and my favorite medium is oils. They are messy, true, but I find that the slow drying process allows me much more latitude in blending and getting my detail right. And oils allow me to work on those details until they are the best that I can do, for now. I have recently finished a 24 x 36 painting called "Stranger in Town", which is a cowboy with an old west town in the background. I have also just finished my first abstract/realism piece called Rainbow, which is a portrait of a woman. Today I am working on my second painting of the Venice, Italy Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto Bridge and Gondola. I am also working on building a Facebook site for my art, as well as opening a Gallery Store here on Festivalnet. I do hope that in the days to come you will visit my pages once they are up, and check out my art for yourself. And if you have any comments, I would love to hear them.
