Thank you Anne for your many comments on my paintings. This is a scene from my old hometown.

This runs a Norman Rockwell for its money. Excellent!

In this painting, using my photo as a guide I lightly sketched the scene on the canvas. I then laid in wash backgrounds to establish my darks and lights. On top of this I did a more detail drawing for accuracy. Then painted in final colors making corrections to the base drawing if necessary. I handle my floral art in the same general steps. For still lifes I don't work from photos but the same above steps apply. Thanks Joanne, for all your generous comments on all my art.

Hi Bob, Love your work! If you don't mind, I'm really interested in how this image comes about. Do you start with a photo you've taken and somehow end up with out line or do you draw the entire image and then start painting it? I can't get over the details.. I am truely interested in how you do this. Someday I want to pick up my paint brush again :) This painting is truely a masterpiece as are the rest of your work:) Thanks!

Thanks Frank, appreciate it!

nice!

Love pictures of Key West, FL! I lived there for about 2 years and still miss the place! Excellent acrylic! Chuck
