JFK pencil

Used to love this era and all the excitement of the new space program and the new age.  Decided to do a pencil of Kennedy.

Another layer on "Partly Cloudy with Chance of Showers"

Oil 16x20:  Original painting had some drip marks from some linseed oil I was using in medium and decided to paint over them and enhance the painting.  Added the rain under the cloud and some other thunderheads in the background.   Haven't painted anything in about 9 months.  Felt good to have paintbrush in hand again.  Someday!

Is There Anybody Out There?

I was browsing some pictures from the #Hubble and saw some interesting pictures that looked like they would be a challenge and fun to paint.  Makes me stand in awe of our God who is as endless as we consider the universe to be.   I read recently where the known universe is 94 billion light years across!   That is 94 billion times 6 trillion miles!   Incredible!

Oil on canvas 48x24

Day at the Beach

Painted over my last post of the "Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Showers" with this one.  Just never liked the way the clouds came out.   Oil on canvas 16x20.  This canvas now has three paintings on it,  first was a Grand Tetons type scene, then the clouds and now the beach!

Deer head

Saw a painting by Justin Gaffrey of this deer head and decided to give it a go.  He uses very thick acrylic paint to build up a 3D effect.  I added texture for the antlers.

Pepper
