The Grand Tree is coming along


I kind of reversed the things I learned in Jerome, Arizona from Cody DeLong. Cody puts down the planes first, and I did it with glazes after the basic painting, composition, etc. I have too many years of my own way of painting to change overnight, but I think it's looking OK.

What do you all think?

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
