Cold Landscape

This painting was just waiting to be let out. One of those rare times when I actually had a clear idea of what I wanted to see before I open Photoshop and start sketching. This one was hideously blue for the first 3/4 of it, with a cheesy, oversaturated warm light in the cave. It might have made Kinkade smile. And as soon as I had that thought, I spent the rest of my time trying to tone it back and get some more varieties to happen.

Hey Marco!

Wow that's awesome. It reminds me of the time Chuck Norris and I scaled Mount Everest. Oh, the epic battles. For some reason bears were involved. They were no much for the mighty roundhouse kick, of course. Good times, good times.

Wonderful Marco! Kinkadeless now to be sure. To be able to adjust color, intensity and contrast at a whim. How the hell did I paint for 35 years before PhotoShop; with acrylics no less.
