Green Tomato Wine

Been working on this off and on for a little while. Finally reached the point today and told myself, "Stop". 18" x 24" acrylic and pastel pencils on 140 lb. watercolor paper.

Bear Creek

It was a very warm day for February, so this past Saturday Pam and I drove down to Haleyville, Alabama on a picture-taking jaunt. These are some of the shots I took on Bear Creek, just below the dam.

Old School

I wound up finishing this one first. It's 18" x 24" acrylic and pastels on 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper. That's Pam's old Argus camera on the left and mine on the right. My grandmother gave it to me when I was in college and it was what I learned photography on. I used it to take reference photos for my earliest charcoal studies. The negatives were from another camera I had 30 years ago.

Works in Progress...

WIP 1, 2, 3. The first two are for a composition I call, "Green Tomato Wine", the last one is, "Old School". Almost finished with GTW, and still working on Old School. They are mixed mediums, mostly acrylics, with final accents of pastel pencils.
