SkateDeck Group Show July 3rd
July 3rd me and my wife, Karen Watkins, will be participating in a Skate Deck show at Plastic Chapel in Denver. There are three venues showing the work Plastic Chapel, Indy Ink, and News Speak. It should be a lot of fun. I really love what Karen put together for it, I'll post hers up soon. Below is what I came up with- a simple figure with a black dress, seemed to fit the shape of the board.

Recent Field Sketches/ Studies from Wyoming trip
Welcome to my Blog!
OK, for my first post I'm putting up the sketches I did on my recent Wyoming trip. It was a lot of fun! Me and my wife spent the week with her parents and in the morning I was able to sneak out and do a few sketches while there.
"River Study" Oil 6" by 8"
First study I did, which was right by the camp we stayed at.
"Window through the Trees" Oil 11" by 14"
down the road from where we stayed. My attempt at a mountain view with some back lighting behind the trees.
"Mountain View" Oil 8" by 10"
"Over the Hills" Oil 9" by 12"
I did this one entirely with the brush at first and didn't like the way it was going so I scraped it away and then did it entirely with the palette knife.
"Pond Reflections" Oil 6" by 8"
First one I did when we arrived at the Tetons
"Mist over the Tetons" Oil 11" by 14"
I had to do a painting of the Tetons before we left. I think I'd be happier with this painting if it had a better composition. However it was fun being out and painting those beautiful mountains!
"Back Light Hills" Oil 8" by 10"
This is a piece I did when I returned home to Denver. The trip was a lot of fun and can't wait to visit again and maybe do more sketches now that I'm more familiar with the area.
Thanks for reading my new blog. I plan on posting all kinds of new work, new events, photos and features on other artists. Hope you sign up to follow!
