Paintings Leaving for Show
"Tangerine" 60" x 60" oil and beeswax on panel. #8309 Paintings waiting outside to be picked up by the delivery truck. Clearing out the studio of all the paintings I have been working on for Santa Fe. This orange one, done last and as “extra credit” is my favorite....
Last Painting for Show in Santa Fe

Raining
#8157Kept going on 8157. Almost everything gets re painted over and then by the time I come around to paint it again it is done in a different way. The ghosting of under painting is very interesting when it is contrasted with a thickly painted shape nearby or on top...
