Had some linen laying around since I'm currently waiting for my panels to dry. It made for a nice change in surface texture from my regular gesso primed panels.

Being a kid? Priceless. Imagine for the first time in your life seeing the surf, or how about those eeky looking creatures with claws that scurry around near shore?

Lots of sunlight beaming in through the window today. Painting today a stuffed Elephant. At first I thought I didn't have enough time and it was to late and missed my chance for the day, bummer. I pondered a bit on doing one anyway without the magnificent light show that I've been seeing this month and almost decided to move on and do something else.
Oh wait, what's this, sure enough it showed up with a vengeance. I literally had to set up in under a couple minutes trying to fully think ahead, grabbing my easel, a panel, my tripod for my pochade box setup on my right. Grabbed my scraper since I found out I forgot to scrap the palette, grabbed the brush container, oh paper towels, add more white and blue to the palette, walnut oil set out to make my paint flow like butter, positioned the panel so it was pretty much next to the scene, gloves on, standing and ready to do battle. I commenced to sketch out the form using a pale purple mix and noting where the highlights were going to stay, oh it's a rush!! Filled in the shadows and color in the form, chair seat, highlight on the form some minor attempts to get the hat correct, was not easy. By now it's about 15-20 minutes into the painting, no time to think about time, not even on my radar, everything is oblivious to me at this point. The light of course has dramatically shifted by now as well as all values, glad I locked it in at the first. Oh wait a minute, I had laid in the banding on the chair cushion that ran from bottom right to left and up the left side to the middle of the panel. I thought it would add a nice touch but quickly decided it didn't add to the composition so I knocked it out, and signed bottom left, "Kirby". A much simpler composition that looked great. Now you see the completed painting, "Jousting for Light" in under 25 minutes I'm guessing.

Another late night painting the storage room. Really liking the texture on this particular Linen. Below view of the setup. Had an easier time getting the lighting setup so I could see the painting as I painted it. The lighting outside of the room was pretty dark compared to inside the storage room.

Some Urban Landscape for your viewing pleasure. Nice hot spring day down at Galveston Island, Texas. Temp, around 85F with cool breezes. Can't get any better than that.

Quite challenging this day as the sun poked behind some clouds a couple times but not to much of a change. This view is near Downtown Houston at the Sam Houston Park. They have a nice fountain and a local was taking a break from the hot sun and I had a chance to paint him. Nice spring day!

Today was a stay at home day, no traveling, so I looked around to find something interesting to paint and found this rubbish pile. Nice day to paint but the clouds and sun were playing with me again until it calmed down some about twenty minutes toward the end and was able to pull in closer to what I was interested in.
