 Every now and then I go out painting and notice something that I think might make a better painting than what I set out to capture, but for one reason or another I choose not to paint it. Usually, it's just me being stubborn. I set out to paint "X" so that's what I'm going to work on. Still, in the back of my mind while I'm painting I notice that my thoughts often drift back to the other scene. I find myself wondering what a painting of it might look like...Read more on my blog here.

 Occasionally over the years, I have had to drop my wife off at work out in Weatherford and always noticed this field with hay bales, which I thought would be a great subject to paint. At some point last year, I decided it was time and went out ready to paint, only to find all the hay bales had been hauled out. Time moves on though...

 A few days ago, I went to one of my favorite spots to paint, which is the falls in West Worth.  We had a few inches of rain the day before I went, so I knew the falls would have plenty of water flowing over them. After picking out a place to paint from I set up my easel and got to work.  Try as I might, I just couldn't quite get the painting to the stage I wanted.

 Early in the summer, or maybe it was late in the fall (it's often hard to tell for sure here in Texas unless you look at a calendar), I came upon these wonderful yellow wild flowers growing in a local park. These came in late, after the blue bonnets and indian blankets had all played out. If I remember correctly... Read the rest of this story on my blog here.

Hmm...I'm not sure how this happened, but it's taken me almost 4 months to post this painting. It was one of the last ones I did right before I packed up my old studio and started work on the new space. I guess I just forgot about it with everything else going on.

A few nights ago, I went out to paint the sunset at out local park. My wife and kids came, too. While I painted at the lake, the girls played in the park. I had promised my oldest daughter, who's turning three this weekend, that she could do a painting when I was finished. Sure enough just as I was finishing up, she came by wanting to do her painting.

We had rain all weekend this last week. It was much needed rain and, thankfully, there was a lot of it. Naturally though, I had made plans to go out painting well before the rain forecast became such a certainty. After waking up Saturday to a heavy downpour...Read the rest of this post on my blog here.
