Still working on a floral that is coming along and bursting with color contrast. It is soaking wet right now so I will have to wait to get to the final layer. When I say layer I really mean final stage. All of my paintings have many layers in each session, including the ones I demonstrate on Youtube.
I am very pleased with the comments of appreciation for what I do on my channel! I try to switch around a lot so viewers can see all my different approaches to my artwork. I am especially pleased with my latest demo of a Blue Ridge sunset that was started and completed in acrylic paint.
With the exception of some skyline paintings that include mountains I don't think I have any blue ridge paintings in acrylic until now. It was a great experience to use a medium that dries quickly so I could get to many stages in one day.
Sometimes I feel like a magician. I can get so much of a demo painting done in about twenty minutes. The key to that ability is many decades of practice. I can't remember the exact quote but I am pretty sure Houdini once said that anyone could do what he did with forty years of practice. That applies to art too.
I know I could not paint the way I do now when I was young. Lots and lots of practice. When people buy my artwork they are paying for my costs, my time, and my unique expertise that was developed over decades and is still developing.
If you like my work but don't have any more room on your walls be sure to check out my paintings on just about anything on my website or Zazzle! Here is Roanoke Sparkle on a plate!
