Painting and traveling... traveling and painting!

The first half of this year has been a whirlwind of exciting travels!  I have traveled overseas twice, to both coasts, and a couple places in between!  I have been trying to record some of these adventures for future paintings and am also experimenting a bit in the studio as I have time.  Here are a few recent paintings.

Recent Paintings

I took over 1200 photos during our week in Rome!  Some were tourist shots, some were goofy photos of me and Cat, but most were reference photos for future paintings.. oh my!  The only trouble with that is that I already had thousands of reference photos!  If I never took another photo.. (not likely) I 'd have more than enough with which to work for the rest of my life.. and I can't wait to do them all!   So yesterday I started a painting from Rome, but am posting a few recent works from a trip to New York City in late October.
