Finally, some Christmas vacaton painting!

I usually take vacation the week between Christmas and New Years, but I always miss out on all the fun leading up to Christmas.  So this year I took the week before Christmas off!  Been havin' lot's of fun with my wife and girls.

Also, visited a few local galleries here in Oregon City.  Even found out about a local organization called the Three Rivers Guild which I'm going have to check out on their next meeting.  Looks like a great way to meet some other artists in this area.

So here's a few things I did today.  Continued work on an existing piece and sketched out a quick sketch for a new 6"x8" piece.  I'm going to try and knock out some smaller paintings and work on painting a little looser and simplify, simplify, simplify!
