There's this one particular harbor


I like parts of this painting better than the last version. I like parts of the other one better. Maybe I could somehow combine the two. . .

More smeared paint


Someone suggested I try painting from a photo. And I had the photo of the Pedernales River, so I thought I would try that scene. I want to, eventually, paint more Texas type scenes.


I can tell you that I kinda like this. I hate the background. To dark, and too splotchy. I like the midground. I screwed up the sky. There should have been more clouds, but once the paint starts flyin' . . . And, I think I have figured out how to do bluebonnets. Unfortunately it was too late for this one.


So here's the original photo and my interpretation of it.


Someone has also suggested that I open a tent somewhere to sell these, to which I respond, "Can I learn to paint first?"

Where do YOU want to be today?


The inspiration:

Boat Drinks
Jimmy Buffett


Boat drinks
Boys in the band ordered boat drinks
Visitors scored on the home rink
Everything seems to be wrong


Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare
I gotta to fly to saint somewhere
I'm close to bodily harm


Twenty degrees and the hockey games on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screaming boat drinks, something to keep em all warm


This morning, I shot six holes in my freezer
I think I got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm


I'd like to go where the pace of life's slow
Could you beam me somewhere, Mr. Scott?
Any ol' place here on earth or in space
You pick the century and Ill pick the spot


Oh I know, (I know)
I should be leaving this climate
I got a verse but can't rhyme it
I gotta go where its warm


Boat drinks
Waitress I need two more boat drinks
Then I'm heading south fore my dream shrinks


I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm)
I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm)
I gotta go where its warm!


I gotta go where there ain't any snow
Where there ain't any blow
cause my fin sinks so low
I gotta go where its warm
