I'm In the Movies...Well, Kind of..

I recently was contacted by the set director of a NBC movie saying that they would like to use one of my paintings on a set for one of their upcoming movies. I have always thought being in a movie would be a kick - I even did some acting a looooong time ago. That dream died away once there were bills to pay, but now I can live vicariously through my painting! Hey, I think that is a kick as well! The Made for TV family movie is called "Magic Eye" and it is set to air June 11 on NBC, a Saturday. 

Below is some new work completed this week.

The Road to Remember - 18X24"

 

Rooted in the Rock - 8X10"

Into the Thicket - 16X20"

Here is a New One - Thanks Matt Smith for your Great Instruction and Inspiration!

Day 2 with Matt Smith.  I painted this today from a picture my wife had taken along route 89 in Sedona last Month.  We turned around on the road 3 time to get just the right spot.  Thanks Kathy, for your persistence - this made a great composition.

                                  Let's see what tomorrow will bring...

Thank-you to Friends of Western Art

I was awarded a scholarship for a class with Matt Smith at the Tucson Art Academy from an organization called FRIENDS OF WESTERN ART.  I am on day two of the class and am working hard and pushing through several elements to improve my techniques.  This is my second class with Matt and he is a great teacher. I want to thank FRIENDS OF WESTERN ART for seeing potential in my work and allowing me the opportunity to take it up another level.  You can visit them at http://www.friendsofwesternart.org/
