Nice, but before you're done can you stretch out one of the cracks on the brick so that they are not all so even? I love the loose style on the water and boats. It's interesting, because you don't usually see someone who paints as realistic as you do, really open up and let loose.
Keep posting, I'm enjoying seeing your work [Smile]

Good Suggestion Kelly,

I will add this..........

As far as painting "Loose"...the Client asked for this style......and I do this sometimes.......it is a welcome relief from the "Almost boring realism that I most of the time paint"

I will try to get a better photo when I am thru.

I saw that tribute to Indian Larry too. I was in and out of the room..congrats CJ! Boy could that Indian Larry do some acrobatics too when he rode. The show was moving, as my ex was an expert mechanic and old time rider. We still get the Indian Club newsletter even though he's passed.
