New Work Fall 2018....Landscapes....Oil Paintings

Landscapes always seem like a "window on your wall" to me.  They bring the peace and serenity of nature right in to you, no matter what your actual surroundings may be.

Moonshadows Series....Landscape paintings.....oil on canvas

 12x12......Moonlight on the Cottonfield

8x24......Moonlight through the Trees

Oil Paintings for Double Decker Festival

12x12 Garlic Clove

12x24 Vertical Cotton 

12x24 Streetcar on Canal

12x24  Cotton 

24x30  "Jungle Out there"

Rural, Farm, Barn, Cottonfield oil paintings

These are such a good match to show together.  Typical roadside views on pretty much any road in Mississippi.

Softer Palette....tomatoes, pears, cotton.......Oil Paintings

10x20..............................Tomatoes Just Waiting 

 12x24....................Pear Still Life

8x16....................Cotton In Field

I have experimented a little with a softer palette of colors for some of my paintings.  Some homes need the softer approach.  I like these, and as you can tell, they are not TOO soft.....just soft-er.

Barn, Shack, Fence............Oil paintings

 36x36.................................Barn and Cotton Field

 30x30.............................Springtime in the Country

10x30..........................Zig-Zag Fence

These are some rural scenes that I have collected over time.  Each one has its own charm and special mood.  I just paint what I see, but what I feel sometimes comes out too.

Southern Scenes....Oil paintings

I love living in the south.  It is really funny to me how many transplants we have here....people that come down here and decide to stay or return permanently.  The south, and particularly Mississippi, has such a bad reputation in other parts of the country.   But people that come here and really give it a chance find out that it is a wonderful place to be.  The food, the culture, the kindness of the people.  I wouldn't live anywhere else.
