Alabama

 My favorite paintings are often the ones that were done in conjunction with some kind of adventure. These two paintings fit that criterion.

  The last few weeks I've been touching up my Rose Bowl painting. I think I may be done! After I look at it tomorrow, I'll decide whether it needs a couple of additional adjustments, or if it is ready to send on the the printer. I'm very excited about these prints and really enjoyed painting the stadium. There may be a few more stadium paintings in my future in 2010.

If you are interested in ordering a print, click the "Buy This Piece" link below. Even if I make another round of touch-ups, they should be ready to ship in 2-3 weeks.

(Note: I did punch up the colors in this piece, but not as drastically as these two images suggest. The earlier photo is more subduded and this last one is a bit exaggerated. I will have an accurate image from the printer soon.)

 Five-thousand five-hundred thirty-four miles. From Atlanta, Georgia to Pasadena, CA and back. It was our contribution to "The Process" that Coach Nick Saban talks about. My dad and I drove across country to see our alma mater, the University of Alabama, play in the BCS National Championship game at The Rose Bowl. I was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and it felt that way the whole time. Both of us enjoyed surveying the scenery and witnessing the gradual changes as you from state to state.
