Working on an 'Irondequoit Bay' swan painting.

Paint It Black

































A lot of the time I start my paintings by putting on a layer of black gesso.
Those black velvet artists know what's what.

Then I sketch with a white Prismacolor pencil.
Sometimes a metallic gold one if I am feeling particularly frisky.

Ragging the Dead

































When they gave me this complimentary mechanics rag I don't think the good folks at Iron Smoke Distillery thought I would use it as a paint rag.

Magnolias & Crows
































Tomorrow is the opening reception.
So many hours in the studio went into this - I feel nervous and over-excited.
Good grief I hope this goes well.
