the wonders of photoshop… sometimes when i want to see how something will look on my painting i take it into photoshop and add it in there. i was wanting to see how the painting would look with the “eye” detail i was working with… so i started with a pic from the studio…
then i added in the “eyes” as i was going to paint them…
now i can’t wait to see it finished. a couple more weeks and i should be done with it.
i have put up a section for selling my 2010 calendar. this will be the 10th calendar i have published since 1997. they are printed onto 11×17 acid free 80# cover weight paper, then wire bound and drilled for hanging. each month is a “plate” suitable for framing/hanging. (i also do a hand drawing on the cover and sign it) click on the image below and it will take you to the calendar.

i spent most of the day yesterday sketching out the drawing for the next painting. typically i use a portrait format with my paintings (if not square) but this time i wanted to do a landscape format painting. the drawing i wanted to use needed to be adapted to the horizontal format. (as well as a correction on the original) i was surprised to see how rusty i was at drawing these… but it’s like riding a bike i guess.
the top-left is the original drawing, the top-right is the landscape adaption. the bottom two are steps getting there. (took me a few)

i finished this painting the other day and have been awaiting a day when it is overcast outside, but not too dark, so i can take it out and get some good pics of it. so for now you have to do with this.
