"Approaching Storm" (36 x 24) WIP

Summer storms on the great plains - there's nothing like them.  Just when you think this might be the year you'll get a good wheat harvest, one of these monsters rears it's ugly head and within 5 minutes your entire field is pulverized leaving your with nothing but bills and the hope that next year will be better.
Nearly finished with the cloud, but  the wheat field needs a lot of work.

I was hoping to have this finished in time for the art show this weekend, but doesn't look like it.  White takes such a long time to dry.

"The Fiddler" (24 x 30)

Think I'm going to call this finished.   

 

Ready to start my next project.

"The Fiddler" (30 x 24) WIP

A llittle more done on "The Fiddler"  For some reason, I'm not able to get a clear photograph.  It's interesting when you see a photo, the spots that really need work, places that need their edges sharpend and those that need to be softened.  I'm fairly happy with this so far. 

Thanks for looking
