"Gliding At Low Level"



Another attempt at using a palette knife. I still have a lot to learn. Had to resort to the brush for finishing details.

"Looking for Adventure"


I have wanted to paint this bird ever since our trip to the Florida Keys last winter. I needed a centerpiece for the Art Fair I participated in yesterday and finished this picture just in time. I love to model 3-D shapes with bold, strong strokes. Pastel also allows me to layer with light passes of the stick to let the lower layers sparkle through. It makes the water appear to have depth.

"Seabirds"


My fascination with birds continues. As a pilot I'm in awe of these creatures that do so easily what I struggled to learn. At least I can say that I have soared with eagles (really!) and played on the wind.
