WOW! WOW! WOW! I am so amazed by how well this painting came out! I've included the initial value study, shown on the bottom, to give a real sense of the before and after in completing this painting. I have to admit that since I was dealing with shiny nuts (of the nut and bolt variety), I thought about stopping at the value study because in a way the gray hues project the steel of the nuts quite well. But I'm glad I went on to add the colors, because I think it really POPS! All the reflections and shadows work great against the background colors. I love it, and I hope you will, too. Thanks. Jason.

Here's a super colorful painting that I have relisted on Ebay. It depicts a beach scene typical of Southern California: late afternoon sun illuminating a lifeguard tower on a deserted beach with attractive homes and palm trees on a cliff in the background (must be a weekday; weekends are always busy). This is so very unique - I don't know of anything else like it for sale.

I saw this Spanish Renaissance tower in a picture of mine and thought it would be amazing if painted in a romantic setting. Voila! The result is this painting, "Spanish Tower Sunset". It's done in artist quality acrylics on gessoed and sealed hardboard and is of medium size: 12"x16"x1/8". It's for sale - click on GALLERY OF PAINTINGS to see. Hope you like it! Jason
