Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar.....Oil Paintings

This one is 10x20 and I called it "Fender Bender" (Another attempt to amuse myself while doing the more mundane side of the art business....Tagging and pricing paintings)

This one is 10x20 as well.  It is the "Unplugged" version.

and if you need a square format, this one is 12x12.

As usual, all of these are on 1 1/2" thick gallery wrap canvas (no staples) and wired so that you can hang them without framing. (Unless you want to frame them, then you can.)

New Work...Scenes of the South....Oil Paintings

I leave on Friday for the Red River Revel in Shreveport, La.  It is an amazing 8-day outdoor festival that is an ingrained part of the Shreveport community. Each day leading up to the start of the show, I will post some of my new work that I have been working on for the fall.  Plus, I will highlight one great thing about the Revel itself.  

Today I want to mention my repeat customers.  I have several avid collectors that have now become friends.  This will be my sixth year to do this festival, plus I have done three wine festivals there.  I love having the same folks come back and visit and or buy something year after year. 

 

Today's paintings feature scenes of the south...

8x24

Everywhere you look in the south you see quaint little white churches.  And on Sunday they're surrounded by cars.  Lots of cars.

9x9

 

The south would not be the south without it's myriad cottonfields. 

10x20

 Fishin' and huntin'.  Its what we do down here.

24x36

 Ok, in the interest of  full disclosure, this is not really a shack in the south.  But it so looks like one that I can, without guilt, include it in this category.  It's actually a shack in Maui, Hawaii.

10x20

 Another quaint church.

8x16

Another great thing about the south.  Great music. 

Keys to it All....mixed media

 

10x30....mixed media.....$360

 

I loved my little experiment with the black and white series.  This one was done pouring paint on the canvas and then dragging it with an applicator to get the final product.  It is a less than predictable process resulting in a looser, more relaxed look. 

 

Today is the last day of the Red River Revel.  Time to take it down and pack it up and head home to see my family that I am missing so much!  : )

Ticklish Ivories.....Oil Painting of Piano Keyboard.....#10 of 30 paintings in 30 days....

I love the movement and the happiness of this one.  You can just about hear a tune when you look at it. 

 

We are 1/3 of the way through the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  Yikes!!!  That means we are 1/3 of the way through September!  How did that happen?
