“Wishful Thinking”

"Wishful Thinking"

“Wishful Thinking”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

This rose is done in the same fashion as the rose I did a few weeks ago. I had a commission request to create a similar rose. So I have done a little experimenting and painted two paintings at the same time of this rose from the same point of view. One rose was done on my usual orange/paperbag color, pretinted canvas panel, the other just on white. It took forever to do them and the second still doesn’t have the sky done yet. I will post the second one on my website next to this one when I complete it in a day or so…

"Rains Roads Puddles"

“Rains, Roads, Puddles”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 USD

It was raining all day today. I thought I’d have to do a studio still life. I went in the studio and looked out at the barn and saw all these puddles reflecting sky where once was dry earth. The rains had made all the colors so much darker as they got wet. The contrasts of reflective puddles and dark grasses and black trees and brooding skies was rather intense. So I set up by the window and painted…

I wasn’t going to paint today…getting ready for my show Saturday at Flavors From Afar at 6712 Snyder Plaza in Dallas, TX, 214-696-2327 but when I went for my walk this afternoon there was this sky waiting for me. So, no walk!…

"Comanche Peak"

“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…

The shadows were great tonight. They hold longer and stronger on a western sloping hill at sunset than on flat terrain…

"The Dynamite Shack"

“The Dynamite Shack”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US

Most of the settlement of the Terlingua Ghost Town, when the mines were operational, happened in, around and below the area where the church is. The dynamite was kept up above and away from the living areas in that little shack up on the hill. I suppose being out there and so visible was a deterrent to any accidents or would be saboteurs…

“The Down Side”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $750.00 US

This is my third time painting at this location. It is a plateau south of Terlingua Ghost Town and higher up. At each drive up the steep and narrow switch back, I am always in awe that my front wheel drive van can make it up the slope. These are the peaks of the plateau capturing the last rays of the sun as it sets beyond view…

"Last Night"

“Last Night”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

This is quite possibly my last Martha’s Vineyard painting as I will be packing and on the road for Texas from now until New Years. I may attempt a painting along the way, but sometimes the van has a mind of its own and just wants to get there quickly…

"Early October"

“Early October”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

This was painted before sunrise on an early, hazy day in October. I could never decide if it was finished or not. Last night I added a few flourishes and now it is complete… Sometimes it is good to let a painting sit for a contemplative period to better understand what was done and perhaps why…. Often times the question or problem I thought I was grappling with becomes resolved in working on the next few paintings. And the knowledge is now there to complete the earlier piece….
