Day 12 - Somewhere in Goias

Where?  Well, this here is another Google Street view inspired painting.  I can't travel the world right now, in the physical sense.  If I could, however, I most definitely would.  I guess street view is the best I can do at the moment.  So, this is, as the title says, somewhere in the state of Goias, Brazil, which, I had never even heard of before.  Pretty sad that my geography is so poor, but, alas, there it is.  I was attracted particularly to the beautiful, deep blue sky with the large clouds receding to tiny little puffs way back at the horizon.  Today in PA, incidentally, is nothing like this at all... rainy, gloomy, cold and freezing... Probably also why I was inspired to paint this one today!

Surprise! I am offering this little gem as an auction at my Daily Paintworks Page!  If you are interested in bidding on this painting, please click here to visit my DPW friendly auction page

House Commission

I just finished one of 4 commissions today.... I don't want to post the whole picture I guess because the person it is going to doesn't have it yet, but I wanted to share some zoomed in parts of the picture.... I love the tiny cows in the background.. also love the American foursquare house design, which is what this house is...  This week I am starting framing also, and (I am in a bit of disbelief, but...) I will be making 40+ frames for me and 4 other people!  I'll have some pretty awesome sanding muscles by the end of this week... (and sore shoulders!)

Cloud sketch for commission

I am completing a house commission right now and needed to work out some colors and forms for the clouds I am including in the sky.  This little 4"x4" painting is a cloud sketch I did today for this purpose.  I am offering this for auction on DPW with a starting bid of $15 if you are interested!

I can't help it, I love thick paint!  This is a close up of the above painting.
 It may be little, but it packs a punch.

Day 27 of the 30 in 30 - Invitation

I love days like this painting depicts... Big, dominating, white fluffy clouds.  I call this one invitation because I hope when you look at the painting you feel invited to take a stroll down the road to see where it might take you.  May you enjoy your day!
