SECRET SPOT

4” X 4”
Oil
Remember those 3” X 3” paintings - well they’ve turned into 4” X 4” paintings.
You’d think that wouldn’t be such a big deal but it’s been a challenge.
I’m still working out some landscape ideas - it still feels foreign and uncomfortable.
I figure I should keep at it anyway. It’s good for me to think about something other
than the usual foxes, cars, local scenes and bears. 
It’s starting to snow, a big storm may be headed your way if you live in the east or 
Midwest. Hoping everyone makes it through unscathed.
Later MB

MY BEST SIDE

4” X 4”
Oil
My two new favorite colors - Indian Red & Cyan blue.
I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying Indian Red. A little
goes a long way and can alter just about any color in ways that are
difficult to explain. More vibrant than burnt sienna and seems to have more
saturation, and brightness when mixing with blues and greens.
Cyan blue is harder to work with and I’m still trying to figure out if I’m 
getting anywhere or just struggling with the intensity of the blue.
Time will tell. Indian Red is definitely a keeper, Cyan blue, I’m on the fence.
All the best MB!

SCOTTY TWINS


8” X 8”
Oil
SOLD FINALLY 
These Scotty twins escaped their original pasture and ended up walking for miles
before settling in my neighbors pasture. The grass must’ve been greener because
they loved their new digs and my neighbor let them finish the season in his pasture.
It was such a treat to see them everyday I ventured into town.
This was a late sunset view,
Later MB

DAY DREAMER

I didn’t get a good photo of this painting but you get the idea. 
I’m in a painting mode and hope to post more new work soon.
Giving some more landscapes a try.
We’re hoping spring has sprung here in Steamboat Springs. The snow
has been an intense shoveling gig. Need a bit of a break.
Hope all is well MB

HOT SPRINGS CREEK

12” X 12”
Oil
I’m trying a few new ideas. Landscape isn’t easy for me because I really don’t 
know what I’m doing. I’m forcing myself to try a few more before I pack it in.
We’ll see where it goes. Thanks for following. MB

HILTON GULCH SCHOOL HOUSE

8” X 8”
Oil
FINALLY SOLD
I think I painted this in 2016. Cindy has had this painting in the gallery
on and off since I first painted it - turns out the third times a charm. 
Sold a couple of days ago and I couldn’t be happier.
It’s great to have another sale. 
All the best MB

EYE ON THE PRIZE

10” X 16”
 Oil
I love this bear. I’ve painted him numerous times and never get tired of this image.
I’ve been without my computers for a week while they were being updated.
It turned out well in the end but my tech guy had some issues he’s never seen before.
 I told him now you know what it’s like to be a mere mortal in this crazy tech world. 

I’m back in business as far as I can tell. I have to learn some new computer stuff so it could 
be touch and go for a while. My screen looks so different as well as my keyboard 

Let’s hope for continued success.

As you know I’ve been struggling with painting. So instead of fighting it I decided
to paint some images I’ve painted previously. I’m still struggling but I’m starting to feel better.
I’ve been cleaning my studio as well to bring some life back into my space, purge old baggage
and hopefully open up my creative pathways. 

Thanks for waiting - it’s been humbling to say the least MB

NEW INFORMATION

This is going to be an explanation of what's been going on. 
Last year blogspot quit working on my iPad  - so I signed
up for a new website which only a handful of followers signed up to
receive(my new website is expensive so I want to get rid of it)
That story coming at a later date.

Yesterday - it appears that I've found a way around the blogspot
snafu on my iPad and you are now receiving blogspot in your email
just like the old days! 

I've also created a newsletter link on my old website at the top of the page
www.mbwarner.com
On the newsletter link it asks for your bday my rule of thumb is to put
April 1(April fools day - it's easy to remember and not your real bday)
So if you want to sign up that's what I recommend.

Also, at the top of my webpage there's a new Instagram button
I have no idea what Instagram is but I'm trying to learn.
I think you can hit the Instagram button
and the follow button and when I post something new
you'll get notification.

I'm in a bit of a tizzy - it will all be explained in more
detail as I go. Thanks for persevering through all of this upheaval.

OH! BY THE BY there was a pine Martin in my house this morning
He ate all my pears - pooped and peed in 3 places
it could've been much worse. He's out of the house now and we're
repairing the hole he scratched his way into the house - yikes!
He was soooo cute too.

HEY THERE

3" X 3"
oil
Here's the deal I was using my iPad for all my blog stuff which was super
convenient. But it appears that blogspot is no longer working which means
I have to import the photos to my lap top and work from there.
I guess I'm lucky it lasted as long as it did because apparently
some folks have been without blogspot iPad support for over a year. 
I'm looking for another blog that will work with my
iPad until then I'll post when the mood strikes and I feel like
doing all the extra stuff to get the work out there. 
I've gotten kind of lazy sorry. 
That's it for now. 
thanks for waiting and i hope for a solution soon.
