Tectonic Shifts In The Art Of Western Civilization Revealed

The weak part of these quickie art lessons is the curious warning that preceeds each section.    The warning should have read--WARNING: TIRED ARTIST  BLABS OLD ART SAWS FOR MASS CONSUMPTION BEFORE FALLING ASLEEP ON CAMERA--or something of that nature.  The major element that I need to add that is critical to understanding these 5 lessons is that I have lost 35 pounds since they were produced.  The encouraging fact is that these incredible video shorts have caused an epidemic of nod-off worldwide.  I am expecting a call from the Smithsonian giving me the induction date when these lessons will be permanately archieved.  Anyway--enough intro.  It should be clear that I am honored to be included in the avalanch of art instruction that litters Youtube.  Now go drink some eggnog and take a nap.  Who loves ya?

All Bull-No Beach Girls

I did this for Janey who is tired of pretty women and children on the beach.

Guardian of the Vinyards

I just finished this for the lobby of the Yountville Inn.  It will hang behind the check in desk for all to see.  This was more fun and easier than figures.  I may paint a bunch of landscapes since they are so easy.  But you have to arrange all of the values in order or you will suck.  I think figures in landscape is on the horizon.  But I will have to find a studio first.
