I spent some time with family—nieces, nephews and all today outside Columbus on the Mississippi prairie. Here are some cow-blobs I captured from the great day.
It’s literally like I went to sleep last night and woke up this morning to an explosion of fall leaves. And light rain. That’s a winning combination for painting in my opinion. Here’s an 9×12″…
After spending the summer doing chemistry projects to hone in on just the right paint formula, I’m finally starting to cut loose and paint a bit with the new paint I’ve discovered. Today’s subject was…
The late summer late evening colors are subtle and soothing. This is from the back porch of the Visitor’s center looking southwest across Hyde Lake.
A recurring theme from my sketchboook is this mysterious city I keep drawing. It has tall buildings and in this case kind of looks lit up at dusk.
About two years ago I spent a few days in Manhattan. I distinctly remember looking south from Central Park toward 5th and being amazed at realizing I didn’t know where the buildings ended and the…
Clouds and cities. Today it was clouds.
I painted flowers at Home Depot in the late summer rain today during lunch. Besides my paint and paper getting super soggy, it was a refreshing break from my day job in the digital design…
Sometimes my materials tests and practice paintings are better than my plein air paintings.
Claude had practice tonight at St. Louis School in the rain. No worries. I was safely in the car painting.
Sometimes when I’m just playing around with paint in my sketchbook, magic happens. In this case, the concept that presented itself it was about depth, distance and atmospheric ethos.
A friend of mine once called some of my work “atmospheric”. I like that and sometimes I try to make it so. Like in this practice piece from my sketchbook.
As I finished painting a little cloud study at the Rhodes pool, I took one last look up to see a Harris hawk about a million miles up catching thermals.
Tonight was one of those ridiculously beautiful late winter evenings where around 5:00, everything got that golden atmospheric glow. Spring and daylight are coming! if you like the painting, you can purchase it here.
Formerly known as Patriot Lake, the new Hyde Lake is one of my favorite places in Memphis. Recently upgraded Shelby Farms Park has a lot to offer, like a cool new restaurant, a patio overlooking…
It’s kinda cool to see the seasonal differences between two landscapes painted from the same place at different times of year. The one on the top was done in late fall, the one on the…
The temperature was plummeting from a balmy 50 degrees to a chilly and windy high to mid 30s. I forgot my pencil and my pastel box almost blew into the lake, but it was worth…
I was able to get away for a bit today, walk down the street and join the Memphis Urban Sketchers at the Rhodes College Library. I think the room I drew here with all the…
A quick midweek day-ender.
I’ve been doing these quick little pastel drawings when I’ve not have time to really even think. In looking back on them, the colors seem to really mirror the colors I have been seeing during…
Two themes I love and that seem to crop up as I generate art: gardens and cities. Here’s a city sketch I drew while doodling at my mother-in-law’s breakfast room table.
I stopped off in the Target parking lot on the way to work to try out some new colored pencils. I love that huge flag on top of Clark Tower.
In a quest to blend colors and to capture a more etherial feeling, I’ve gone back to oils. I didn’t have a ton of time to commit to this one, but do like the general…
A Fair Thistle Last week, I had the privilege to go to Glasgow on business. It was a short trip, Saturday to Friday but jam-packed with experiences and images that I just have not been…
Hot Evening at Shelby Farms The sun has been so hot lately, it’s been almost unbearable. But I still went out and painted after work. I wanted to try a few things out, and should…
In college, I spent some time on Lookout Mountain, Alabama working as a counselor at Alpine Camp for Boys. Ok, maybe I spent a little more time than I should have (a cumulative total of…
I ended my day today as I often do on Wednesdays— painting, or in this case, sketching the early evening at Shelby Farms. 18×24″ acrylic and oil pastel on canvas.
My Uncle Lee has been a big encouragement to me and helped direct me to think about and capture things with my art that I otherwise wouldn’t. One of the things he’s suggested is that…
There’s something I like about the layers of depth this little park lends to the landscape. I had to abandon this painting a bit early (had to pick up my son at a birthday party)…
I often get caught in the cloud trap. My eyes are bigger than my stomach when it comes to capturing a sky full of them. Today was no exception. The sky was full of fast…
Shea and I went out on a bike ride to Shelby Farms today. And I took a few minutes to paint this little 9×12″ acrylic on canvas. It was hot! But also a beautiful day.
Another beautiful day on the back side of Shelby Farms! 18×24″ acrylic and oil pastel on canvas.
Here’s a quick 6×8″ two-panel watercolor and pastel color study I did after work at Shelby Farms. Sometimes the weirdest and most interesting color combinations, compositions and overall work can come from having too little…
I’m trying to draw a landscape but this dirt road keeps getting in the way. 18×24″ acrylic and oil pastel on watercolor paper.
Shelby Farms is beautiful this week. I love the springy green grass and the glowing sunlight this time of year. 9×12″ acrylic and oil pastel on paper.
It was a beautiful day at Shelby Farms. The clouds were transitioning to light blue, pink and orange before my eyes, which always creates a fun challenge and usually a fun outcome when painting a…
It was an awesome second half of the week in NYC this week. I was blown away by the weather, the kindness, the design, the art and so much more. One of my favorite moments…
