My first printed collection of fine art oil paintings is now available. This forty-eight page gallery catalog features selected oils from my American Made: People of the Heartland series. It's geared toward galleries and fine art collectors but I thought I'd make it available to everyone for a limited time. All of the reproductions are printed on high lustre premium paper which is amazing. The printer really did a great job on this.

DOC MARTIN

Finally done! The painting itself went fast but finding the time to actually sit down and paint is the challenge for me these days. Anyway, the painting is complete because it says what I want it to say and nothing more can add to that statement. Special thanks to my friend Jim Martin who posed for this oil.

OIL PAINTING IN PROGRESS

Block-in stages; charcoal sketch and over all wash to background and upper face. I'm going to leave the background unfinished and just add the beard and indicate parts of the collar and jacket. These shots were taken under north light with no color correction so the colors may be a bit of depending on your monitor.
