Looks like you’ve turned toward charcoal.

Good stuff. I like black and white anyway.

I admire your work, Michael. Is “Prairie Wind” the same landscape you were posting your progress on last year, or is this a different one? If I remember correctly, it had sort of a fisheye perspective. Nice stuff!

Wonderful work.

I’m sure you get this all the time but...

I thought being an artist and conservative were more or less mutually exclusive...?

Actually it’s graphite. The most recent one I am using powdered graphite.

No, I don’t think it was Prairie wind. I was working on another landscape around then but have not completed it yet. My paintings can take quite a few months or longer.

I know I’ve told you before, but I want to tell you again: Your paintings are awesome. I especially love the Civil War ones. Do more! Do more! :-)

LOL Lots of FReeper artists in various mediums.

Personally I like photography and I do a lot of stuff in photoshop as well.

Well, my comment was partially tongue-in-cheek, but I am sure the ratio is horribly skewed.

Still it’s nice to see conservatives with mad talent.

Good stuff man, thanks for posting. I just blew the dust off my airbrushes and set up a mini-studio..Time will permit soon and I look forward to the hiss of my brush once more (and to start teaching the youngins as well).
You have hair down real well. Mind if I ask your secret?

I adore “Summer Cabin”. Such a peaceful and calming piece of work. I love art that you can actually “feel” like you are there or want to be there. You are very talented!!
