Reeds' Rockin' Concert

Hal and Mary were on the floor of the 2 Friends concert by Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith.  Good time and good sounds; a mixture of contemporary Christian, country, instrumental, and vocal.

Skog

I found myself in the forest today.  Another good day in the office......

Alpaca

Recent painting of a local alpaca.  I wanted to capture the unique quality and character of these creatures expressively and freely.  I used my texture more extensively in this piece which added interest but also frustration.  I also tried to incorporate similar colors from my landscape to connect the animal to its land.  My next painting is from a model and I think I will take a break from grassy textures.

Festivities

Little snapshot of some apartment life.  Last sunday we celebrated Jay's birthday with a home cooked bountiful feast including beef from Ryan's family's cows, halibut from Ryan's fishing trip, and of course apple pie.  From upper left to lower right: dishes with the two couples, apple pie, pile of bro flesh, and me creepin on miss Maddi Mularski.  We tried to get a better couple photos but this is the best we got.  Love for you all to meet her sometime!  This post is also to show that I do more than just make art and do have a social life.

The eyes of Hal are always upon you!
