Group exhibition in my hometown - Responding to the "David and Goliath" theme!

I decided to participate again in a group exhibition in the town where I was born...


... hopefully, this selection will not scare too many people away!

Bushmaster II - A few layers of paint...

Back to my home studio, I decided to apply a few layers of paint to my second Bushmaster painting...


My next step is to go for highlights and unity throughout (notwithstanding chopping one finger from the right hand!)...

Yesterday, I joined a class on live model drawing ...


... in the hope of improving my eye/hand coordination and my sketching ability.

A week in the countryside studio... Still plugging away with the flag series!

In a week's work in this larger studio, I managed to complete one painting and initiate another one...


I couldn't resist tackling the Bushmaster once again!

"Patriot games" final - Slowly adding to the collection!

I finished the previous painting in a hurry...


I'm slowly building up this "flag" collection, stimulated by what's going on South of the border these days!


I will be experimenting with "shadow box" framing for these works...

Patriot games - step I... Back to "smart ass" painting!

Today I laid the foundation for a third US flag painting...


I'm looking for "attention grabbing" images that speak to different societal aspects in America, all at once...
