Exploring!

While hiking through the woods the other day, I came across another tower!  I've gone my whole life finding zero hidden towers and now I've found two in about a month.  This one is quite ...

Another hidden tower!

Here is the second in my found tower series!  I never even thought that there would be a first!  This one is not as elaborate as the first and it's a lot less safe seeming, but I was happ...

In the sketch book

I came across one of my beloved fairytale books from childhood. As I perused its pages, it occurred to me how perfect it would be for reference! This will provide me with images I'm fond of as I p...

This is really starting to come together! I felt like I made some great progress today. The figure is almost complete, the bow is coming into focus, and I've created some atmosphere.

A little time away from it did me some good! I'm making progress!

"Archer" reference photo

Tomorrow I'll get back to work on my painting of an archer.  I've taken a couple of days away from it to gain some perspective and come up with some fresh ideas.  This is the reference ph...

I'm not a musician.

Here's a silly video of me having fun playing with a musical instrument.  Feel free to laugh along with me as you watch!

It has been very hot here!  The air has been still and oven like.  I'm so glad that it's finally moving!

Walking the dog in the garden.

I went out in the cool of the morning to take in the beauty of the garden before the day got too hot.  I'm still experimenting with my new gimbal apparatus.  I think that the walking is m...

On the easel!

Finally! I've started an archery inspired painting. I did something a little different this time. I painted a solid background first! I have recently seen some images of Greek frescoes. I thought t...

Welcome to a new patron!

While I don't usually do welcome videos because I want everyone to feel comfortable and I respect the privacy of my patrons.  I do have a new patron that would like to be introduced you all! &...

Taking reference photos in my sunflower garden!

I wanted to share the process of how I go about getting reference photos. In the introduction of this video I said that I wanted to explain that to you, but by "explain", I actually meant "show". &...

Playing at the Playground!

I spent some time looking over some old playground equipment.  Remembering how much fun it was to play on stuff just like this as a kid, and maybe I played a little after I put the camera down...

Looking back on Summer.

I took a moment look over some past projects and compile this fun little video to remember some fun times.  I think it's also a nice welcome to my new Patrons!  Welcome!  It's very n...

Free the Nipple Shirt on the Streets!

I went to a small downtown to walk about a bit and help to normalize the female nipples.  The more people see them out in the wild the less dangerous they are! : )  This was a nice day. &...

Fashion Forward.

This is a repost of an older video that I had put up of my "free the nipple" top.  I had some trouble getting Vimeo to work correctly for a while, but everything seems fine now so I'm using it...

Painting a self portrait.

In the studio, I painted a self-portrait. My color choices were intense: bright, warm yellows in the skin tones, and blues, greens, and browns in the background. It seems to speak to the summer as ...

Playing by the river in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

While on a recent trip I took some time to walk along the river and appreciate nature.  It was a beautiful day and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you.

Top free in the river!

I put this up just to be silly.  I think it looks like a photo from the 1960's or something.  I was a little shocked at how cold the river was and didn't know how to react, so I had an od...

Oils!

I'm trying out oil paints for the first time in a very long time! Going small first, this is a 4x6 inch canvas. It's nice to have the ease of blending that oils provide!

Comics in the Sun! "Snotgirl"

I ducked into a comic shop recently and picked up some new stuff.   While the title was repulsive I was drawn to the look of Snotgirl. Here's the new episode of my ongoing series Comics i...
