10 GALLON HAT

This is from the 4th of July pre-parade activities on Yampa Street.

I love the light on the riders clothes - her gloves and her hat! 

A perfect marriage of light, form and color.

Have a fun and cool weekend. Thanks a bunch.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Here's the finished painting.

 8" X 8" oil it will be on display at CVA GALLERY

837 Lincoln Ave., Steamboat Springs, CO for the month of August. 

 Today I'm trying to finish "10 GALLON HAT" more on that later.

Have a great weekend! 

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Here's a process shot - I need to finish this one today. It's #4 out of

the 5 new paintings for August. Here's a quick story of how this shot 

became a painting. As most of you know I ride my bike a LOT! Riding bike is

My think tank where my ideas become a reality. I was at the end of my ride 

on River Road through Brooklyn and in the distance was a shot of this buggy.

I got out my phone shot one and knew I had to get closer. I didn't have much

energy left but I knew I had to pass the buggy - get off my bike a shoot what

I could. Turns out I knew the buggy driver - what are the chances? 

I couldn't wait to get into my studio and paint this scene. This is what

I love about photography as a tool for painting. These moments in time are

captured in a split second you just can't get that in plein air painting. I'm a 

painter who specializes in fleeting images and experiences. This is what makes

me tick.  Thanks for waiting - MB

MOO

This is a demo I painted a couple of weeks ago for the plein air paint out

reception. I was painting with my Guerilla box outside the gallery where I 

met Carl Judson. Carl is the inventor of my Guerilla paint box.

Here I am on his website Judson Outfitters MB WARNER

If you need any supplies and live in Steamboat his store is in La Porte, CO.

He is an amazing man and quite the painter. He made the SAM plein

air paint out worth it - I feel richer for having met him.

Thanks for taking a look. MB
