It's getting to be the end of the year, and I am still busy with new paintings and new ideas for future paintings. I still have a couple of new commissions left to complete, hopefully before the year is done. I am really excited and anxious to get back to the Holy Land series... I have so many more left to do... I have 3 Egypt ideas and at least 2 more Israel ideas to paint.
So I suppose my New Year's goal for 2011 is to be a better artist. I want more than anything to get my work some more exposure in any way possible. Hopefully, if I can get some of these paintings sold and acquire some money, that will be possible.

Something different...
With a couple of new commissions in the works, the Holy Land paintings will be going on a brief hiatus until January, if not before then. I hope I can return to them by the end of December. This one's not a commission, it's just one that I did for fun, to put on Ebay at some point. Simple, happy, flowery still life. I've been gathering materials and ideas together for some new paintings (in addition to more of the Holy Land series) for 2011. I'm hoping they turn out to be good pieces. We shall see...

Olive Branch
I thought I'd do something a little different for the next Holy Land piece... and do a close up still life of some of one of the olive branches from one of the trees at the orchard we visited in Sorrento, Italy. This is the place where we sampled some of the olive oil and the most delicious mozzarella cheese on the planet. Still to come... I will have more of my experience in Israel, Egypt, and Italy.

Epic battle... But I won.
So on Wednesday the 17th, I was trying to choose between two pictures to make a painting out of... one a landscape, and the other a cafe scene... both from the trip in Sicily. And I chose the cafe scene because, for some reason, it looked easier. It turned out to be an insane battle and test of my patience and my ability as an artist. Over the course of two days, the total time spent on this painting was about 12 hours, 30 minutes. Don't ask me what I was thinking... this was not the easier choice between the two.

View of Galilee
Here is the third in my Holy Land series. After such a huge challenge like the Roman Colosseum, I thought I'd do an easy one. So this is a view of Galilee, as seen from the Mount of the Beatitudes. Some nice landscape with a little hint of the beautiful Sea of Galilee. There will be more of the Sea to come. Plus, the Parthenon, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Sicily, and more.
