I'm going to post at least two paintings a week...minimum. Most will be 5"x 7" to keep things small, but like the first one...they will vary. I'll be including a link to Ebay to bid on these. Any that don't sell will be designated on this blog, and can be purchased for the minimum of $100.00
Labels: Jackson Wyoming, original oil painting

I've been an artist since age 5, when I remember drawing an airplane better than my older brother. It was a bi-wing with a propeller, (not that I'm that old... it was 1957 and it was a racing plane), and it was encouraging because up until then, it was the only thing I could remember doing better. I kept at it, and now nearly 50 years later I'm still trying to improve my creative process. Now I realize you never get better than anyone else... just more unique to your own style, and become the best painter you can be.

So beautiful, as always!
I love that painting - I can feel the air! And I'm so glad you're back - I was getting worried about you, but glad it was "just" work that was keeping you busy!
Great seeing your work love the paintings!!
Thanks everyone. Frank is right though, I have been a slacker. These blogs are great places to expose your work to the world and grow as a painter and I think I lost the drive to paint just for money in it, but realized how I missed the love of doing it. That batch of illustration worked got me thinking straight again
Hey! I didnt realise you were an illustrator too, I am and I HATE how it gets in the way of painting...but you have to make a living! Beautiful work as always Mick, I watch but dont often comment.
Great lighting in this one Mick.
Wonderful feeling of air and light in this painting and I feel I could walk up alongside that sunny rock to stand amongst those pines at the top. Great handling of the paint :-)
