This is the last painting for the bank. I took a whole series of pictures while I was working on this painting and I thought that everybody would enjoy seeing the process of how the painting took shape.

Working on it

Hopeful, 2009. oil on panel. 15 x 17. sold.

I'm working a big commission so other paintings are coming along slowly.

I have several paintings that I think that are mostly done that I will post soon. They are in my studio waiting for my final approval. I tend to have to let things sit there for a while so I can get some distance from them and see them for what they really are. Sometimes I'm so anxious to be done that I'm fooled into thinking that it may be the greatest painting ever when really its not.

I think I may become slightly delusional when I'm finishing work in my studio. Its all just part the painting process for me.
