Tending 8x8 oil on board

A work for the Green Palette site, a little experimenting today on some canvas that was a bit like burlap...not likely to use it again but I muscled through it.

The Dam on the Hillsbourgh 16x20 pastel

I started this pastel a couple of years ago and painted the boy in last night. This river and I have a long history, on this very spot I slipped of a rock into the water when I skipped school in the 4th grade also a friend and I were swept away during a flood and was saved by her brother. The river is in the park where I play tennis on Sunday and its views must hold a 1000 paintings this is probably number 12 for me.

Standing Boy

As you can see there is no image here, after posting it and getting a few comments from my respected freinds I thought I would put this painting aside and revisit it at a later date.
I would like to thank all the people that follow my blog, I really enjoy the input and I am excited about a couple of ideas for new works that I can't wait to share.
