I was finally able to get back to some painting after being slammed with a bunch of illustration work these last few weeks The last time I posted anything was ten days ago. I was able to do two actually, both from one of my new favorite places, Lake Tahoe.
I also had the opportunity two weeks ago, to attend the opening of "Let there be Light". It's a traveling show of Christian art that opened at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. It consists of over 90 pieces of art from 22 artists and will travel the world over the next two years with stops in New York City and Paris, France. I'll send along a link when they have the website assembled. I'll post the two pieces I submitted in following posts.

"Belly Up to the Bar" SOLD (Click here to view results on eBay)

I was looking for something to paint the other day and everything looked like I had painted it before, so while watching an old western on TV, (Rio Bravo), I decided to shoot a little reference from a bar scene in that show. I changed a lot of it but saved the essence of the scene. Those saloons were tough places. Click on the image for a larger view.
