Blazing Fire

This is one of the paintings in my fire series: blazing fire.  It is an acrylic painting, 18 x 24.  I started with a black and white under painting, then layered or glazed the colors on top.  It is a combination of realistic and abstract.  The logs are realistic and the flames are abstract shapes.  The cast shadows on the logs and rocks came out very well.

Charleston Memories close to the finish

Added a lot more detail in the fore ground leaves. 

Added another color of blue in light blue areas.

Added turquoise to palm branches. 

Added many small branches in the sky. 

Pumped p light green leaf highlights. 

Added see-through areas in leaves so you can see the swamp. 

Added a lot of rose to the boat.

Added more netting. 

Charleston Memories Continued

Spent a lot of time this weekend working on the fore-ground.  Also working on the intersections where branches overlap to add depth.  Added some blue to the boat.

Mechanical Drawings

These are so fun to do.  This is a combination of two drawings.  The fins on this submarine are great!  A plane shoots off the front.  WOW!   The 1970s were fantastic!
