Starting another painting!

I finished the Horse and sleigh picture.

Here is another small painting I am working on.

I started on Saturday.

It is also clearly in the early American style.

Painting!

Here are a few pictures of my latest painting project. It is in the early american style as you can see.

At my easel!

The Live Nativity.

Here is a picture of myself in my roman costume during the live nativity.

I got pretty sore from wearing it everywhere and trying to direct the presentation. It is pretty heavy.

Both nights of the Live Nativity went well. I think all together we had somewhere around 130 people attend.

Finished Nativity Poster!

I finished the poster for the Live Nativity, so now all we have to do is get it printed and distributed around. I just sent it to the printer. Here is the finished product as promised!


The soundtrack is coming along pretty well. All of the voices have been recorded. I only have about three more pieces of music to put together.

The soundtrack needs to be completed by this Sunday, which is our first rehearsal.

Busy, busy!

Things are getting very busy around here as the days begin to count down for the Live Nativity.
I have been composing new music for the soundtrack and that eats up a lot of time.

Last night we recorded a song at the Moore's. We will use this piece before the actual presentation.

Designing a poster for this year's live nativity!

I have been designing a advertisement poster for the live nativity. Yesterday afternoon I created rough a concept painting to give me an idea of what I am looking for.

This is the concept design, and below is the rough design that I did this afternoon in Photo shop.

After creating a idea of what I think will work, I'll fine tune the final design with some different images and lighting. I must say, I am pretty happy with the results of my first project in Photo Shop. I will post the final result when I finish it.

The Auction!

Here is a picture of me and my box at last nights auction.

It was a fun night! My box ended up selling for $3,500.00.

So that is encouraging!
