Oklahoma City Rowers

This small (4X4) oil is painted from one of the photos I took while on the launch the other day. I will probably enter it in the Paseo small works show in January. I have also been working on some fun Christmas paintings in acrylic that I plan to give as gifts. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Bonaire beach

I am going to post a couple today. The first is loosely based on the beaches in Bonaire. I was cleaning up and saving some of my photos and maybe spent a little too long looking at the photos from Bonaire. I think I have a bad case of dive withdrawals. The only antidote is very expensive at the moment, plane tickets to the island!

Afternoon Crew

I was able to go on the launch to take photos yesterday. I managed some nice shots, although I started to lose light on the rowers too soon. The light was stunning. Almost makes me want to start rowing.

A Quad

I have been working on my large regatta painting today and did this quick 8X10 this afternoon. It is amazing how much more complicated it becomes when you add more rowers. They are still fun to do and I still have a lot to learn.

The Pull

This is the largest of my regatta series so far. It is 18X24. I decided to focus on the location of most of the action. I am still working on the painting. There are still a few things to fix, but I don't want to overwork it. It is amazing how taking a photo of the painting allows you to see the flaws.
