Walk in the Park
Bemis Hill Park, Omaha

36"x48"
oil on canvas

Finally finished! ...celebrate, celebrate dance to the music...
The lesson here is to keep plugging away and listen to those who keep telling you "be bolder... more detail.... be bolder!"

For those of you who are new to this blog. I have posted the progress of this particular painting several times since I first sketched the idea in October or early November. The last time was (Feb 8th).

Ok, so my February painting wasn't completed until March. It still feels good to check it off the list. Time to develop an idea and composition for the next large painting. I may need a trip to the thrift store.

This one looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting. That can be good or bad I suppose depending on how you feel about Kinkade. I really enjoy your brushwork in the small paintings, and the Omaha Music Maker.

This painting inspired a poem.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, Red, yellow, brown
Children kicking their feet, another parachutes down
Oaks and Maples, crackle and swirl
A dog, a Frisbee - a young boy and his girl

The smell, the sound - a trail in the park
A bench, a lake - getting back before dark
Poor knees, an old back – a memory gone by
Laughter, sadness – a tear with no eye
