LBJ Sheep 15020 8x10 Oil
I took a plein air oil workshop with Guido Frick in Fredericksburg TX November 9-13 to really stretch myself as I don't paint plein air. This landscape was painted on Friday at the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm on the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park in Stonewall. I tried putting in two sheep but they really looked like a cross between a pig and a dog so when I got home I took one of my photos and printed it so I could more closely study how a sheep really looks and besides they just didn't want to stand still. This one was very friendly with Guido. I would recommend Guido's workshop if you are interested in impressionist oils. He will teach in the U.S. in 2016. He's also on Facebook if you'd like to follow his current treks and paintings. Guido
Traveling with wet paintings This really works. I'd heard about it before but this time after Guido discussed it more thoroughly I gave it a try and it's an easy way to travel in a car with wet oil paintings. Place push pins in the corners and secure with Duct tape. Different sizes can be used if they have a common edge size. Place painted sides together.
You are invited Friday evening 6:30-8:30 Nov. 20 for the reception for the unveiling of the stars painted for the city of Arlington. http://arlingtonmuseum.org/
And Third Degree Art has a painting or two to show with it.

#starofTexas Back "Nest Among the Stars" Acrylic on fiberglass sculpture 6' x 6'
The Third Degree group of collaborative painters, Connie Michael, Karen Foster and I finished "Nest Among the Stars" 9/22/2015 and now it awaits a clearcoat before being installed in downtown Arlington, to be auctioned off in 3 years. This is one of 20 stars for Arlington, the American Dream City, a public art project to promote the city with the Arlington Museum of Art.
Our small group has had so much fun painting this expressive floral that we are now painting on a large 48"x48" canvas with variations of this design for commission work.
Our star and paintings are painted with professional acrylic paints and Home Depot in north Arlington provided some of the Behr paints we used on the star. Thank you Lenny Gaspard, district manager for all your support.

One for the Stars 20x20x3/4" acrylic mixed media First post in awhile and I'd like to share some projects. This is the newest acrylic mixed media painting and the flowers have lots of texture, and the 3/4" sides are painted a gray. It is a prototype of a large 6ft star that two friends and I are working on for a city wide art project. We three began work today on a 48"x48" piece similar to the painting above and we will be taking commissions. More to come. Our first star that I will discuss will be unveiled Thursday and painted by the Canvas by Canvas group and I'll post it and mention more about the process.
