Here is the latest on the painting of Joel McCann, "The Lobster Man of Portland Head". Last Weekend I demonstrated oil bars that work like drawing with a tube of oil paint.
I still want to jump on board and try some lobster trapping in that surf at Portland Head. I may turn out to be a real landlubber, but I would still like to give it a go (even if it is just for a day). Have you ever done that? I have a few paintings going on that I would love to have everyone ready for Nov. 5th, so the race is on. Part of me is trying to write to the National Museum of the Marines, Jacksonville, NC that will start its construction soon and have my series available for their opening, the other is sending information still to the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia, the Joining Forces initiative and the Smithsonian in DC. All in the works, so I will give you updates on that as it progresses. Wish I had two of me.
I still have not named this painting in Panpastel on velour board of Lcpl Bryan Bullock (could be corporal by now, not sure). I would love to know what was going on in his mind that day. It is such a cool perspective. I have met his wife Devin and we have spoke a few times. They are newly weds. Can only imagine what that is like for Devin here at home and Bryan out there. I have another painting with a photo in a helmet, that is part of a larger collage called "while you were away".
More updates to come.
