Hey happy Friday! Here’s 10 more paintings for
-three of these are oil…learning a lot from trying out Plein air in oil. It’s so hard 🫠 but fun. Forcing myself to post the first one…man that one is rough.
-Trying to be expressive with all of them but also capture the mood and everything.
-Trying to be more economical with brushstrokes. I dunno man I have just really fallen in love with Plein air painting again now that I have a nice kit. I’ll try to do a tour of that soon! Actually I have 3 set ups- oil, gouache and acrylic gouache!

My first few paintings for !! The more I paint outside and from life the more I fall in love with it. I don’t have my setup completely done yet but I’ve been practicing outside around the house to see how things fit together.

Trees in my sketch book today. Acrylic gouache on paper. Made with meat based hands, heart, brain, etc. Soul prompt: individual power, enduring through storms, communal usefulness, future utility

Some small stuff I’ve been working on over the past few weeks! There are some little series, a plein air painting, a couple chromatic horrors from Beyond i keep dreaming about. Normal stuff!!! Painting these little blocks are fun but also help supplement the business when times are a little slow! Ye olde iPhone 12 took quite a tumble and is needing upgraded lol totally unrelated. Anyhow they’re not really on my site but if you message me we can work something out. Business! 🧑‍💼 📈📎🗂️💼✂️📥
