166 East 3rd Street - Lexington, KY

Here's the first of a short series I'm doing of street scenes in Lexington, Kentucky. I enjoy working small with the knife, so I thought I'd intermix these in with my usual plein air pieces, portraits and studio work.

Two small redo's from the State Series

Here are two small one's that I needed to paint again to make the State Series complete. The Series sold to a great client and his wife. I had just sold the original two from Minnesota and New Hampshire the day before the client contacted me about purchasing the entire series. Isn't that how it goes? These will dry and then be off to their new home.

Both were painted with a small painting knife in oils.

Sunny House

Here's a small knife painting I did today. This one is for the June Virtual Paintout. I always forget how much I enjoy painting small with the knives. I'll be repainting a couple from the State Series to replace those that sold recently. Just shipped 49 of the Series out today to a wonderful client. When these last two dry they'll be going to the same destination. (Yes, I know the US has 50, but I threw DC in for good measure.)

Wash

Here's a quick one for this coming month's Virtual Paintout. I know it looks like I haven't been doing much artwise lately, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm finishing up 15 charcoal portraits for a show at a gallery in Bowling Green, Ky that should happen on April 1st. But I can't show any of the drawings until the show happens. Can't let the cat out of the bag.
