Colorful Landscapes, Trees......................Oil Paintings

 12x12..........................Colorful Hillside

12x12......................Tunnel of Trees

I love the colorful aspect of these landscapes.  Poetic license is not just limited to poetry.

Corn and Watermelon........................Oil Paintings

 8x24...........Corny but True

 10x30.................Slice of Life

8x8..................Summer Slice

These are some new and different subject matters for me.  I like to paint things pertaining to the south and watermelon is about as southern as it gets.  And oddly enough, I have never like to eat watermelon, but I do like to paint it.  

Cocktail Hour......wine and other spirits....Oil Paintings

 8x24.....Our Table in Italy

 8x24......Wine by the Grill

 8x8.................White and Red Cheers

 8x8.................Red Wine Cheers

 8x8.........White Wine Cheers

 

12x12..............................Tipsy Martini

12x12............... Tipsy Red Wine 

12x12............Tipsy White Wine

Cheers, Salute, Cin Cin, Salud....However you want to say it, you can say it with paint!

Oil Paintings for your Man Cave........ Or your bar.

 8x16..........Make your Mark

 12x24.........................Underwater

8x24........Corona Time

These paintings are sort of the type of thing you would expect a man to like.  They sure could add a little class to the Man Cave.

Birds of a Feather....Ducks, Egret...........Oil Paintings

 36x24....................Taking Flight

24x36..............Catching the Last Rays of Sun

These are two of my favorite new pieces.  They both evoke a calm, and peaceful feeling.  I guess that's typical of all nature.  

Baby Oils.....Tiny Oil Paintings.....tomatoes, olive, cotton

All of these are tiny little 6x6 oil paintings.  They provide a little bit of color and interest and don't take up a lot of space.  They are on canvas that is 1 1/2" deep so they can stand up on their own on a shelf or on top of a stack of books.

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.

Vegetable Paintings....................oil paintings

 10x20...............Tomatoes on turquoise

 10x30,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Tomatoes on the Windowsill

20x20.....................Bell Peppers

It always makes me happy when someone buys a painting of mine for their kitchen.  Because I know how much time my family spends in MY kitchen.  I know they must like it to put it somewhere where they will be seeing it so much. 

Sand Crabs......Oil paintings

 12x24................Curious Crawler

12x24............Colorful Crustation

These are a couple of my new creations for the Red River Revel.  I can't believe I leave in 9 days!  Lots to do before then.  The top painting is from a photo that my daughter-in-law took on vacation this year.  This little guy kept creeping closer and closer.  Then he stopped to pose.  The one on the bottom is his colorful cousin.  (Pretty much made up the colors on him, so don't go looking for this species anywhere)
