I am a animation storyboard Artist, currently working on Star Wars Rebels.
I had a hour to paint between rummaging through storage and the rare no kids dinner reservation with Zeldie. The Pride of Madeira at my moms was pushing out its spikes so I set up in front of it not wanting to waste any time looking for something new.
I’ve been swamped with Star Wars work for the last two weeks and haven’t had much time to paint. Today I was able to catch my breath. I set up across the street from my apartment and painted the rolling clouds as the sun dropped bellow the horizon.
It was raining, I didn’t want to go outside and there was no one else to paint.
I made a time lapse video of the portrait painting I did the other night.
I set up in my brothers driveway for a quick painting and as I was finishing up, to my surprise, it started to rain.
I was fortunate to road trip with the great Forbes Latimer for a few days down the west coast of America. He was en route for Texas and then off to navigate the waters of the Sea of Cortez. Forbes is a true wild rover and could easily be mistaken for the wayward protagonist of a London or Steinbeck novel. He is fearless, wild and free. I was able to match his speed and trajectory just long enough paint a portrait. Then the wind shifted, and he was away once more in search of new adventures.

On the hill behinds mom’s looking east. It was a burn day and smoke from the neighbors left a thin veil over the valley
Looking south from the parking lot in Ross towards the Village Corner and Breaking Away Bicycles. If you look close at the POV pic you will see the new panel holder I’ve been developing. It’s of my own design, ultra light weight, made with carbon arrow shafts, some milled aluminum and mahogany.
