Peter

Peter is a member of my church ward. I always find his look with the beard and long hair interesting to paint. I asked Peter before he cuts off his bread and hair (which he did after he had the look for awhile) that I would like to paint him.

Blue Horse in Sunlight


My painting friends and I headed to Wallsburg to do some Plein Air painting late last summer. There ended up being some scattered showers, and we spent some time driving around taking photos before we were able to paint. One location was really intriguing to me. The way the light was hitting the trees, and the backlit horse eating in the field. I knew I wanted to paint this scene, but the challenge would be getting the lighting right. I worked it and reworked it, trying to get the colors, values, and lighting correct. Being able to paint a horse blue was an added bonus, and a lot of fun.

Bird on a Watermelon


Bird on a Watermelon was a fun painting to do. The watermelon turned out to be a strong visual and I couldn't resist painting that bird with his expression. I didn't know if the viewer would think that the bird was just resting on the melon or thought it was trying to hatch it. The vibrant colors and quirky subjects are why this is one of my favorites of the show.
