This is a good start, I think.
Does it need an oil well?
I have two paintings I’m working on for possible Christmas cards this year. 
Bluegrass Jam
Save the dates, Aug. 27 & 28 for the Bluegrass Jam at Fines Creek School. It’s an outdoor concert w/ tents in case of rain or too much sun. See www.FinesCreek.org for a lineup of bands.
JMW Turner
I saw a painting by turner of a castle in the fog. I took this photo on a foggy winters day, so I thought I’d do something similar. This is day one.
Shameless commerce division
Maybe I can sell some Christmas cards.
Musicians
Progress.
Bluegrass Jam
More paint. It’s getting a little muddy, but I think I can brighten it when it dries some.
Bluegrass Jam
The Fines Creek Bluegrass Jam is Aug. 27 & 28. This is from a photo of a previous Jam.
Changes to “Changes”
I am painting oils over these panels. You can put oils on top of acrylics, but you can’t go the other way, without peeling paint. I thought I’d change a lot, but mostly there were areas that seemed thin to me. Who knows, when this dries I may not like it either. However, I’ll take my cue from Willem DeKoonig, who worked on one of his “Woman” paintings for over 10 years. When we had llamas, you learned that you couldn’t let them win over bad behavior. You had to correct it. Same thing with paintings. 
Ringing in his ears
The scar is where he had the brain tumor removed. It was benign, but it didn’t stop the ringing in his ears. Hearing aids helped the tinninitis and now the tumor won’t grow into a problem. He titled this portrait 
“Zipperhead”.
