Monsoon Madness #7 And Tom Horn Struts His Stuff

August 1, 2016
   Went home for lunch and finished another monsoon madness painting:



Daily Whip Out: "Rolling Monsoon Madness"

  Also finished another take on our favorite homicidal chief of scouts.


Daily Whip Out: "Tom Horn Struts His Stuff"

   On the way back in to the office, caught this tall thunderhead piling straight up over Continental Mountain:

   When it comes to rendering, you really can't exaggerate the vertical height of these monsters as they reach upwards of 35,000 feet on a typical summer day.

  One of the benefits of my quest to do 10,000 bad drawings was laying to rest the fear of ruining a good piece of art board. That doesn't mean, however, I'm a fearless artist. All the other fears remain.

"The amateur believes he must first overcome his fear; then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist."
—Steven Pressfield, "The War of Art"
