Had a great night at the Corona Art Association! wonderful people and a fun painting that was won in a raffle drive. I painted a still life for this group because I feel it gives the best when showing contrast and shapes with great shadows, so this painting called “A Pear of Cherries” by Steve Ruiz. Will be painting off and on due to the Album I am finishing that will be out in 2 weeks!! Ancient Elements coming to i-tunes near you!!! till then thanks for stopping by and remember to keep those brushes...

I am going to do something different, I have just started to paint one of my cactus paintings, so what I am going to do is paint like I do everyday and since this a 3ft x 3ft painting it will not be done in a day, so I will paint and show my progression as well as my process, So watch as this painting unfolds before your eyes.
