Over half the year is over, and i feel like i am just starting to catch up. So much time and energy went into that last semester of school, but it was worth it. I never thought i would have the chance to go to college, but now i have a two year degree. It’s been a nice summer off, but i am getting more and more back into the oil painting and graphite. Still finishing up an old school painting that my wife wants to hang in the living room. Then i will be doing some drawing on that 1931 Buick.

I was unable to post my Final for Photo Imaging Class. It was a stop action of a cloud painting, you did not miss much. I ended up with an A in that class.

I'm glad you liked my latest submissions. You know, old cars and train tracks just go together to create a very satisfying picture.
I wonder why that is?
I remember you commenting before about there being a Studebaker in your family a while back.
This photo is dedicated to your
Grandfather.
