Oil painting update

Ok, ok, I now I said weekly updates on this painting. I would blame the dog , but he would take it out on my pour helpless shoes.

Well any way.... here is the painting at a intermedate stage. Not much detail in the eagle yet and I am still developing the background.

Sketch for a new painting.

Tonight I am posting something a litttle different. This is a sketch for a up coming oil painting. It will be the largest painting I have done so far this year. It will be approximately 16x20 inches, maybe slightly larger. I will be posting weekly photos of its progress, so check back often and feel free to post coments or to email me.
