Desert Morning Landscape Size:  50.8 x 40.5 cm (20 x 16 in) Medium:  Acrylic Support:  Stretched canvas Notes:  Mostly airbrushed Landscapes really aren’t my thing. But because they are an element of so many images, I still have the need to do them. This particular landscape gets worked on and then shoved back into the cubbyhole over and over again. If I’m not airbrushing something specific, it gets hauled out for some work, and then when something else comes up, it gets put back. I get to play with this canvas. I try a lot of different techniques. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Desert foliage can be troublesome so I’ve recently been using different methods to get the results I’m seeing in my mind. While it would be great if it looked good overall, that’s not really the point of this.

Kenai Foal Size:  38 x 76 cm (15 x 30 in) Medium:  Acrylic Support:  Stretched Canvas Notes:  Airbrushed This is based on a photo I took of Kenai, the young horse of my DLT, Jessica. Sometimes I get on a kick of creating stuff for people’s birthdays and other holidays. I try not to do it too often as people start thinking that giving art away is your default. Still sometimes a subject presents itself that simply says “present”. I had to do something featuring Jessi’s foal. I just had to.

First AB Image Size:  43 x 61 cm (17 x 24 in) Medium:  Acrylic Support:  Newsprint Notes:  Fluid acrylic thinned with airbrush medium After a seventeen-year absence from using an airbrush, I took it up again with a different class of paints and a brush I’d never used before. I was having A LOT of trouble using these waterbourne paints that I was totally unfamiliar with. This wasn’t helping my remembering of how to use an airbrush any easier. At any rate, after doing a few hours of dots, loops, and lines, I dove in and tried to reacquaint myself with doing an image with this tool. It was pretty awful, but at least my fingers started remembering what to do.
