Storm Coming + A Painting from Sandi

In Manitoba we had our first Feb. holiday called Louis Riel Day. This long weekend brought a special gift, my daughter, Sandi, and her husband, Clayton, it was a great long weekend.

Sandi and I decided to paint a picture, we also decided that we would use an old canvas that had a awful looking painting on it (my beginnings which were even worse then what you are seeing now) and cover it with black gesso, then play with the oil paints and paint whatever we wanted.

I will show you Sandi's painting and then scroll and see mine, we were not trying to do the same one we were each playing with the oil paints.

this is Sandi's 5th painting that she has ever painted, which is sooooo much better then the ones that I do, but then she has a natural talent for being creative

and here is mine

Lakestorm Brewing painting

I called this painting Lakestorm Brewing. I painted it on Feb. 11, 2008 (today) it took about 1 hour from start to finish.

Forest Edge painting

This is a version of the Bob Ross painting, with this I watched a Bob Ross video (series 23) and was able to paint it

lighthouse painting

at first I thought this one would be difficult but it wasn't has hard has I thought it would be,
I really enjoyed painting it, hope you enjoy it.

remember any comments are appreciated.
