not finished after all


Okay, I worked on this one a little more. I didn't like the way the upper stripe seemed split in two parts so I consolidated that a little more and I made the focal point a little stronger and more interesting (I hope).  I'll see if that holds my attention.  I tried editing this down as per Nicholas Simmons's suggestion but then I couldn't zoom in and see the details.  I will work on my editing skills.

New obsession, triking the mesa.

This is sooo much fun but also scary! Such a beautiful area, above Grand Junction Colorado

Figure in Gray

Not sure how I managed to delete this post but it is gone never the less.  I originally posted this as an entry in the "Just Figures Show". I have recently entered it into a couple of competitive shows. Will keep you posted as to how it does.

Geez, just one adventure after another around here! LOL!

Yea!!!! All Finished!!!!!

I took this photo just before this last panel went into the truck to deliver to the Pavilion.  Yea!  all finished!!!

Another two finished!

I am getting seriously tired of working on these panels but am happy to report that here are two more finished and I have only one to go which is in good progress already so I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

3 Panels done! 5 more to go.



Well, I have three panels done with the refurbishing and have 5 to go. I have a lot of work done on the others too so it's not like they have to be done from start to finish. The boards have gotten so rough in the weather that repainting on the faces is very difficult now.  Wish me luck!

New portraits on the wall

Here is an update on the pavilion project. Finally
got this family done despite the poor quality photos.  The photo of the mother (lower middle) had to be reversed.  I've never met the family other than the mother so only had the photos to go by.  I hope they like them. Otherwise I will have to get new photos.
