New Art Blog...!

I just began my "artist" blog. Go to "Paintings by Michael" and see my finished artwork.!

Made some minor adjustments...

I made a few minor adjustments to this painting before calling it "finished." I darkened some areas and lightened some areas, and I added a few details under the tree.

Painted this afternoon...

There is an old farm about 7 miles west of Jacksonville that I've noticed through the years. I always thought the old buildings would make a nice subject for a painting. Some of the barns are about to fall down now, I'm afraid. I was able to paint this pastel today, using one of those old barns as my inspiration. Actually, the barn pictured here is in alot better shape than the one it is representing.. :-)
