“From the Rose Bush”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
This is the first rose off the rose bush in my brother’s garden. Don’t know what kind it is. It came with the house and is the earliest bloomer. The tea roses haven’t even leafed out all the way yet and the daffodils are still opening…

“Comanche Peak”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I had to get out of my studio to paint today. It was 81 and a beautiful day. Suggestions had been made to paint Comanche Peak as it is the commanding presence above Lake Granbury for 10’s of miles around. I found a spot in a school parking lot which was far enough away and high enough for a great view. As the sun began to set, the colors came out and shifted into this wondrous collection of tones and values…

“Apples Wine & Swiss”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US
I bought a bunch of different cheese the other day. This swiss was fun to paint, and to think about eating after! The apples were a bit of a challenge with some spots of yellow going into the shadow areas. Of course I didn’t drink any wine yet, or you wouldn’t be looking at this painting!!!…

“Blush”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I bought these Lilies a few days ago. They have been knocking me out with their delicious scent at night in my studio. Finally had to paint them so I can enjoy them back in the house. I assume they are some type of Stargazer hybrid as some buds only reach straight up and others open forward or down. They are not white as is usual, but a nice subdued creamy white…

I’ve been juggling fruit around in my studio, figuratively, for a few days. This day the lemons caught my attention. I decided to do a low key approach. I think it work out well…

“Winter’s Stack”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
I was out and about counting birds for The Great Backyard Bird Count when I stopped to write some notes. I looked up. Here were the hay rolls all stacked up for the winter feed source. The sun was kissing the edges to give great drama to the hay against the darker shadow side of the old barn. This was a race to the finish as sun slipped in and out of a receeding cloud bank before the final set a half hour later. Working on into the after light I was treated to a most spectacular afterglow from the under bellies of the clouds…
