What I've been up to...

















I've been painting a lot lately. The new year is always a fun time. It's a new year and it looks as if my resolution, if I made resolutions, was to paint more.

I usually don't show a painting in the middle of a stage like the painting of Venice, but I did this time. The painting is Venice very early in the morning, and very dark. I'm painting it as if it were daytime. I'll add in the night time with glazes.

Again, on the portrait, if you know the subject, don't tell her husband how pretty her painting is. It's a surprise and the dead color stage is coming along fine.

Finally, I'm really happy with "Purples Mountains Majesty", and I think I really got it right. When I tried to take the picture, I couldn't get the camera to focus. The camera was fooled and thought I was trying to take a picture of the sky. There was nothing to focus on so I had to use manual focus. 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
