Here are those same hills from the Highway painting. I wanted to explore those colors more. I still have some issues to work out, but it’s getting close…

Highway

470highway
“Highway” /16X20 in / unframed /oil on canvas / $450

Dusk colored landscape. Good news for me: the opthamologist said that I will get my eye-sight back (in about a month), so right now I’m trying to take advantage of being un-burdened by details. This picture is all about the colors. And I hummed “Life is a Highway” the whole time I painted. Good stuff.

Oil on stretched canvas, 16″x20″.

Tis has a similar pink to my ocean and seagull painting.

Where’s Jessie?

Hi all, I have had some eye troubles… I went to the ER on Thursday night, and then to an ophthalmologist on Friday; I have Uveitis in one eye. It’s uncomfortable to use my eyes now, and the world is blurry and warped. I’m painting a little, but I can’t really see what I’m doing… It’s pretty fascinating to see the world this way, but also pretty scary as one possible complication is blindness. It sure was nice having perfect vision all those years! Wish me luck getting it back!

I’ll start posting again when I can see what I’ve painted!

The colors in the photo aren’t quite right; the plumb color is actually quite nice.
