More graphite

Couple of sketches

Recently I switched to sketching on watercolor paper as it is more sturdy , here's a couple things I've done!

11x14 Graphite.  Cordel Hull lake!

11x14 Graphite.  I drew this by looking at one of my grandpa's pictures (his painting is called "reflections" if your into his work)

Also, shameless plug here, I have started to put my work on ebay so come check me out and help support a young artist! ;)

Orange Lake

Orange Lake Scene

18 x 24 Oil on canvas

Yet another orange lake.  This one is a little bigger than usual, as the size I tend to prefer to work with is 16 x 20.  I'm probably going to continue with this size as it seems good for landscape work.

Buck

"Buck" 18 x 24 oil on canvas.

I've actually never been deer hunting in my life, only small game like squirrel, so when people start talking to me about the "points" or whatever I just have to shrug.  I do enjoy the taste of the meat though, delicious.  I spent quite a bit more time on this than usual.

Couple random things

Some random things

I'm still around!

Im still around!  I havent uploaded anything in over a year but i'm still here and painting.  For about a year now I've been helping out with my family business learning the in and outs of it.  Me, my father, and my grandfather are all artists so they've been teaching me a few things

Also I just got back from the working the Kentucky state fair were we sold family art work.  I'm glad so many people took such an interest in my work.

Anyways, here are a couple of things I painted recently.  More to come!

                                                                                            

"Cigarette Man"  Oil 16x20 on canvas.  I have no idea what inspired me to paint this.  I was sitting in front of the easel thinking to myself "I wanna paint something different"....and this is what happened.  People who are used to the landscape work I do just stare at it with a confused look on there face.

"Church"  16 x 20 Oil on canvas.  Another Landscape, I put small yellow flowers in the fore ground to give it a little more color.  Also hay bales...everyone wants hay bales.
