Video about my snowcat paintings on YouTube.

Thank you both!!! Maybe I have finally figured out how to photograph the paintings. I don't think I get as much glare with the video camera. And the close-ups show more of the details and colors in the paintings. Not perfect photography but much better.

I would feature a little more of the Gallery. at least I would be interested to see where you work and maybe a brush stoke or two going on .
 
OK, I did a short vid of my studio. I just put it on YouTube. I wish I could figure out how to add the video to this post. Seems like it has been done before.

I'll video a painting scene soon. I've been wanting to shoot another training video for a year or so. I did some a few years ago and thousands of viewings! I'm kinda shocked. Maybe ten thousand. People must love to learn. So I want to do a how to palette knife video. I'll use that pine tree on the point scene from the studio video. I've sold it a couple times. People love reflections on water paintings. I've painted it with the fall fog at sunrise--great colors! That will be my next painting. Thank you for the idea and reminder! And maybe this will get me to do some palette knife work in a snowcat painting. I've remembered that I like that idea a number of times after I finish the paintings!

Thanks for the interest!!!

What do you know? I figured out how to get the video viewers in here!!!
 
that was good I can't wait to see what you are able to do with some of those arctic photos I sent to you. on the funny side of things you should do one of a tucker or snow trac crawling over a krusty so you can become part of the krusty banter club.
 
Thanks Mr. DDS!

In a way I'm thinking I've painted all the snowcats I can fit into my house. In another way I want to paint more. The larger paintings really scream at me to try more. Many times, usually after visiting museums, I've thought I should paint larger. Now that I have painted some jumbos I really like looking at them. So maybe some more.

If I paint another SnowTrac (I have five) I think sometimes about the one you sent last year (although I do like the new photos--especially the snowy one after you drove through the white out--I like them more as photos then as possible paintings though). I like that night scene from when you and your SnowTrac towed that fuel oil tanker through the ice and saved that frozen city. (Take that Krusty! :-)) I've never painted a night scene. I changed the shape of the painting a while ago. Now it is vertically oriented (I like that change too for painting). I'm still playing with it. We'll see. I wish I knew more about what is in the background. Then I could hint at it.

One of these or something along these lines:

Or maybe some customs? Like a Cord on a trick Tucker undercarriage? Or a Corvette on a Super Imp undercarriage? I don't know.
 
in those pics we are looking at the port of nome in the background I may be able to come up with some more but my old xp box died a couple of weeks ago. i'm still trying to extract the info off the hard drive. I put a bunch of those photos day and night up on the Alaska reflector web site try taking a look at alaskareflector.org
 
I looked at the Reflector site. Some nice shots! I have some ideas. I don't really understand what looks like lights flying in the background. Could they be stars? Or part of the big ship? I think colorful arctic ice in the foreground instead of the cables. It was an ice related event.

A while back I got permission to use this photo too:

I'm thinking make it snowy and lose the trailer. I love this huge Tucker. So maybe a couple more. (I hardly ever paint just one at a time.) And since I did the larger and super colorful 18x24" yellow Tucker painting I want to play with larger. They do have real visual power.
