I'm posting this painting as what can happen if you don't take care to be sure the foundation of your painting is properly sealed. The only thing I can figure is that something on the panel that I used bled through the paint and caused the dark lines to come through on her face. I was using some masonite like material that I picked up for free , cut up into panels and then gessoed front and back to seal. Think I will stick to Ampersand brand panels from now on.

"Puzzled Cow Fenced In" oil landscape painting
I've painted this cow before too!......I call it the "Puzzled Cow" because it looks like it is made of puzzle pieces the way the spots interconnect....Also I'm sure she was puzzled by the artists guy invading her space.....she never moved!......The Puzzled Cow lives at Milky Way Farm out by Hansville

"Cold Morning" landscape oil painting
I got permission to walk a lovely farm on Big Valley road called "Living Waters", owned by friends , Bob and Betty Nielson. It was early on a frosty morning. All was quiet, fresh and beautiful.......I felt very close to the One who offers us living water , from which we will never thirst again...

"Below the SafeCo" Seattle train yards, oil painting
My last exploring trip to the city brought me to the train yards under SafeCo Field......lots of interesting scenes down there!.....This back lit view of the tracks and distant buildings captured my interest and I had to try and portray the hazy nostalgia of distant places connected by miles of rails.....
