A couple from my shots -Cape Lookout and Hoyt Arboretum. The more recent painting photos benefit from a new camera -10MP upgrade from 4.


Couple from Hipbone Studio -The August sessions were suspended for lack of participants. Temporary I hope.





Found photo I think


Copy of Biondina (Frederick Leighton I think) Perspective of the eyes didn't quite work but I brought it to a finish I don't usually do anyway.


Think these last two were both Wet Canvas Images.

Most of these were images from Wetcanvas.com


a winter creek - should have had more aerial perspective in the distance, but some of it works



from California oak and grassland country. Had fun with brushwork here



young Quebecois lad, done yesterday



more indulgent brushwork. Wet transparent darks followed by more opaque lights with a soft flat bush, much like..



from a professional photo clipped somewhere. Don't think I posted before.

from web photo...



again a found photo


a Hipbone Studio session a few months back


a photo from Sunriver this summer, probably the only usable shot I got. I like much of the rocks and foreground, but the light rocks on the left took about 5 tries
a couple from Crystal Springs garden this summer, both done in the last month
this one got a little cluttered in the upper right
