SLO PA Paint out and Cannon Ball

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cNagBpfpB70

In the deep voice of that action movie trailer guy:

"In a world dominated by abstract art and the New York Art Mafia comes the story of a boy who wants to paint reality, outside, sanding in the mud, facing into the burning sun and brave biting flies like a man. His loyalty for his Russian master is put to the test when he is forced to choose between forbidden teenage love and the purity of learning to paint like a God of nature."

Here is a PA from the last paint out I was in.
This one was painted the train museum in Jamestown. This old train was used in TV shows like Petticoat Junction and movies like The Unforgiven. 8x10 oil on linen.






Come out and see and paint. Try and find me.

See you there! The weather forecast looks great. Remember last year's rain? At least it made for some very dramatic skys. Cheers!

Bill,

When I first visited your studio with Bob (20 some odd years ago!) I was impressed with the oil portrait studies you had done (they might've been nudes from the Art Students League)--it's very exciting to see you following your dream to paint; it's even more exciting to see how visceral and confident your application of pigment has become. Keep it up. By the way, I'm partial to the "W" sig, but, I hear a full signature was recommended?

Man, I really love your paintings.
The colour, the warm light ,the mood,
the unusual things you're painting.
You're definitely one of my favorite painters!

Looking forward to seeing what you bring back.
