New Work

Due to a part time job I took which turned from one day a week to almost full time I have not kept up with my painting or this blog very well.  Along with the job and a great salmon fishing season I got out of the habit of painting every day and found myself with no new work to post in my blog.  I was also not able to participate in paintouts and shows becouse of the work schedule I had.  So.... I quit my job and am now back to painting!

A few weeks ago I participated in "Paint the Peninsula" paintout in nearby Port Angeles, WA and also to part in a workshop put on by my friend Ned Mueller.  Both were a great kick start to my painting again.  I was surprised how even after years and years of painting I was experiencing "painters block".  I was having a terrible time just getting started.  Sort of a feeling like I might have forgotten how to paint!

Both these paintings are 9"x12" Oil on canvas on board.
