I know it’s been a long time since I posted.  I have been busy dealing with some serious health issues. I am in treatment and I have vowed to focus on nothing but getting well and painting over the next several months, so hopefully you will be seeing more from me. 

To be honest, I haven’t painted much. As I said, I’ve been busy and I’m kind of bored. I have it in my head to start experimenting with some different things, but that takes time and initiative and I haven’t really had either. That will change though. I actually just got my oil paints back out after a long hiatus. I am going to do some miniatures to get the hang of them again. I am not abandoning my watercolors, just mixing things up a bit. 

So as an example of something different that I have done recently, below is a painting of a scene from Wintergreen that is painted on black paper using acrylics. I wanted to experiment with getting the deep dark aspect of the forest by painting on a black background. It was fun and I liked the result. I want to do more of this. 

Stay tuned… more to come soon.
