Still Building Ships

Hi Y'all,
I thought that I would show you the most up to date work on Greg's new painting, note the addition of a new boat. Like I said before the detail work is what he is working on now. He has worked on the young mans hair and shirt. He has also worked on the tools and the boat that the boy is sanding. Lots of very positive comments about the piece.

Hi Y'all,
Here is a photo of Greg working on the "apprentice"?? - that he had worked on in Idaho Falls. The show in Murray at the Sam's club is extremely slow so he is getting more work done on this. Sorry, I haven't been able to size this pic so it is pretty big.

Back at Work

Hi Y'all,
Well I'm with Greg at his signing event in Murray Utah. He brought the piece that he was working on in Idaho Falls, the "apprentice" one where the grandfather is passing on his skills of model ship building to his grandson. I should have some updated photos of the painting tomorrow. It is starting to come together.

Inspiring

Hi Y'all,

Just a little more on the new painting Greg has been working on and inspiring the young. With proud parents and excited fans looking on Greg gets a little help from an aspiring artist - Jodie. This young gal was quite good and was not distracted by the crowds. Greg was impressed on how meticulous she was about the part she was painting. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy this.

The Apprentice? Generations?

Hi Y'all,
I thought that I would give you a continued look at one of the paintings that Greg is working on. It is very interesting to watch the techniques that he use in his painting. On this one with the old man teaching his great grandson the art of ship building (the gentleman is the great grandfather to the apprentice in real life) Greg paints what he calls an under painting - getting the shadowed areas in place first. It looks like he paints it twice.

Greg usually doesn't title his paintings untill he is finished so we'll see what he calls this one.

New Painting at Event

Hi Y'all,
I finally got time to work on a couple of pictures from the road. I am with Greg in Idaho Falls at the Sam's Club. Greg brought a new painting to work on while he was signing and visiting folks. This new one is about a great grandfather, a master craftsman, passing some skill and adice down to his apprentice great grandson. I actually have some video that I'll post later about the photo shoot for this painting. It would be great for Greg to have the live models but a little hard to pack them up for Sam's Club.
