I can't remember the movie but it was Sandra Bullock and she was working in a "Starving Artist" paint shop. She pressed buttons and a sponge would make a mountain ridge, another one would paint birds. It was a funny scene. Anyone remember the movie?

Sounds like a horror movie to me

here's another one if you haven't seen it yet Rex.edPumpkinIs.jpg

Well.......I have never done a cityscape and Hoboken would be quite a ways down the list if I were to start

I forgot to mention, that last Lighthouse Painting was from a photo by Ivan Hunter he kindly allowed me to use for reference. Thanks, Ivan!

Yeah, Maine and Nova Scotia share a similar landscape : the ocean, a rocky shoreline, spruce and pine trees...

here's a bit of a change for me, in that it's a Historical scene of my home town. Around the turn of the century (20th) this was both a general store and post office. In my lifetime there was never a post office and this store was not there anymore. Another one opened a little down the road.

here is another one for you to look at. from my hometown of Griggstown, NJ

BigDub

another addition. This is from Idaho at Redfish Lake. I personally took the reference photos and did this piece as a gift for our Niece and her husband about a year ago

BigDub

ready for another one? well, here is one I recently parted with...it is a satisfying thing to have people actually want to add my paintings to their collections. Better than sitting in my studio collecting dust and not have anyone looking at them for long stretches of time!And- maybe this will cool you off a little

BigDub

This is something I also had made into a print. it is available if you are interested, message me for details.

I'll often get some interesting requests for paintings. Some not exactly what I would pick myself, mind you. Here is one such subject, which when first requested almost threw me for a loop. It was to be 11x14, and that size was not a comfortable size for such intricate details. Since that time, however, I have welcomed doing smaller work. I grew into it, so to speak...LOL resizedS.Africa.jpg
this is a mountain from somewhere in South Africa.

This one, a coastal scene from northern California, (from a fine photo given me by my son in law), was done as a demo for my FaceBook Page, taking the viewer through the process from beginning to end. I awarded it to a member who won a contest involving sharing my page.....she was ecstatic!

Sharing my artwork with High School students at Lawrence, NJ High School. I have no family connections there, but a good friend is an art teacher there and invited me to visit. I had something set up so that they could have hands on fun actually painting a version of my own work, which was on the easel in front of them. Other paintings are scattered around as well. They were fully involved!

@BigDub
That was really nice of you, Wayne.
