I like the contrast of this rusty, old dumptruck parked in the tall grass on the side of a dirt road set against all the beautiful greens and the bright blue sky. I'm tempted to do this in a much larger and wider format.

Still sticking with the small landscapes, I thought I'd go outside my box and try to utilize colors I normally don't go to when creating landscapes.

I'm still attempting to sharpen my landscape skills, trying to keep things loose and not overworked. Today's painting has a darker feel than yesterday's, but I like it's simple composition.

Here's a quick, little cloud study. After working for a few days on a larger landscape I realized I could use some more practice working on clouds. I don't know why I find them so challenging.

Website Launched!

Ok, here's the second pass on this painting, almost there. Thanks to Sandra and Jo-Ann for their tips on how they handle clouds. Jo-Ann had a detailed process that she had posted in her blog awhile ago, very helpful.

I haven't been spending enough time painting lately because I've been spending time setting up my website, which can be found at robhazzard.com . If you think you might be interested in setting one up for yourself try this link to check out the 2 months free trial offer.

I'm determined to keep plugging away on landscapes, even if it means I have to get through a few dogs, I'll eventually hit one that I'm happy with, right?

I've noticed that as the Black Eyed Susans hit their peak, it's almost back to school time, woohoo! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but after all of us being together 24/7 all summer I think it's time for us to see other people.
