The Shrimper


This is a 16 X 20 canvas that I painted in acrylics. Inspired by Jerry Yarnell, this was quite challenging to do all the little details. I kept finding myself looking to see if I missed anything. Even with all of the details, it's interesting to see that the main focus is still the shrimp boat. I really enjoyed doing this painting and learned how frustrating it is to do waves and water. Forest Gump named his boat Jenny. I have a painting friend named Jennie that has been painting Yarnell's paintings along with me and so I thought I would get her going by naming my boat after her.

This is painting #5 in Jerry Yarnell's 1st book Painting Basics. I painted Autumn Memories in acrylics on a piece of wood that has a bark edge on the top and bottom.

Winter Delight



This Winter Delight was no delight to paint! Snow is hard! I had more than my share of troubles with this snow. I'm still not happy with the snow, but after spending over 50 hours trying to get it right I gave it up so that I can move on. I do like the sky and how the house turned out. This a a Jerry Yarnell project painted with acrylics on a 20 X 16 canvas.
