Fires, Eagles, and Purple Trees

So here's some of what I've been up to this week.  I'm still trying to get at least one piece done each day so here's some of what I've done and have been thinking about.


So this one was kind of a remake of one of the speed paints I've done before, only, well, on fire.  Utah has been VERY dry this year and we've had tons of trouble with wildfires all over the state.  Actually just yesterday the town where I grew up got evacuated because of a wildfire that got too close.  Luckily the evacuation order lifted today and people are returning to their homes.  The fire left most of the town undamaged, so that was a relief.  


This one was a bit more whimsical.  Purple trees just sounded like a good idea at the time, so I thought, well why not.  


Since the fourth of July is coming up soon I decided to do something a bit patriotic, without going all crazy, so I decided to do the bald eagle.  It was a lot of fun to do and it turned out better than I expected.

Well that's all I have for you today, but I'll be posting more later on.  I'm also thinking about posting videos of my speed paints in progress so you can see how it all comes about.  I've also got the beginnings of an art book in the works, so I'll have more on that later too.
