Doesn’t that sound uncomfortable? What if you also had your shoulder to the wheel, put your back into it, and were toeing the line? How would you get anything done?

Fortunately, I only have to plant my feet in front of the easels. None of these photos do justice to either painting, but when they are finished, dry, and scanned, they will look better. Then when you see them in person, you will really like them.

How’s that for an abundance of confidence?

Finally finished this 8×10″ of the Craig Ranch. It is shiny and wet, not a good look.

Then I began a painting of a subject that I really love to see in person and to paint.

The base coat colors are wrong, but I did begin building the mountains correctly. White dries the slowest of all the paint colors, so this will need to rest awhile before I continue with the mountains.
