THE RESULTS OF LYING ABOUT ALL DAY IN THE STUDIO STARING AT A CANVAS

LONE BOAT

OIL ON LINEN    22x30"...$1600 SOLD
I know it's been a while since I posted. I have been dealing with cancer . Surgery ...radiation...fear...recouping and blah, blah , blah. Yeah, poor, poor me.  I've debated whether or not to continue posting my work on this blog after letting it sit idle for these last few months. I wonder if anyone is still watching. But if I'm going to survive, and I think I will,  I'm going to have  have to keep painting.  Maybe not so many little dailies as before but painting every day just the same.
This is a larger piece I finished a couple days ago. I suppose it reflects (pardon the pun) my mood these days. Quiet, isolated, fairly peaceful and reflective. Looks like I better get those oars in the water!
I did it in oil as opposed to my usual acrylics. Messy stuff that oil but it moves nice on the canvas and has a longer working time than acrylics.

  1. Hi Brian, I'm watching- and today I was so happy to see one of your paintings on DPW and then again in my mailbox. I have really missed them but I knew you'd get back to it because you are too good to let it go. Can't wait to see more and I hope your mood gradually improves along with your health!
