"THE JOURNEY"

             

                                                           "THE JOURNEY"

                                                         24X24 oil on canvas

There comes that time when one has to see what is down that road.  It is hard to say no to that calling.  Leaving can be a challenge but, with blue skies ahead and endless possibilities, the moment has come to say goodbye to the old and say hello to a new journey.  In painting this, I too went on a journey.  I wanted to express the vastness of life, the scale of the boy to the barn and the lands before him. It took a long time for me to feel what I wanted to convey, and like the boy, I ventured out and feel I have achieved  that goal.   

This painting is available and will be at this summers Laguna Beach Festival of Arts in Southern California. 

"SANTA FE"

                       
                                            "BOUND for SANTA FE"
                                                        6X6"

I have made this run to Santa Fe numerous times and always find something new to photograph and turn into a painting.  This airstream shinny and new just gleamed in the sunshine, it was a must to take a picture of.   I wanted to paint it like an old sepia photo, all warm tones, I think I got it, don't you?    (Sold)
