Currently, I am working on my still life paintings using Beatles Song titles and manipulating the painting using colors from the many sunrises I’ve been painting. All those colors I have looked at for so many years are starting to weave through my other pieces. I love this sort of evolution as an artist.

I spent a long time on the girls and then worked over the middle ground. Getting closer.

Just worked in the morning, but I’ve finished day 5 on the Bank of Tescott mural. Next, will be the fun part of painting the girls. Then the field of black-eyed susans located in The Meadow in Ottawa County, Kansas.

I now have the tree, the sky and the foreground all blocked in. It is starting to come alive for me.

I am taking a couple weeks break from my usual painting schedule as I get started on new ‘outside the studio’ work. I have begun a mural for the Bank of Tescott’s new building in Salina. What insight they have to put up public art in these economic times. Time when most are reluctant to spend money on art, yet want and need to see it. Here’s a picture of the sketch on the wall:
