The journey is always fun! Both of these pieces were done without the aid of turps. i left them at home like an idiot. But, like everything else in life it is the challenges that define us. Undaughnted I soldiered on and created two unique paintings with different perspectives of the same farm. I love it when a plan comes together.

This is a wonderful little spot I found today. I had music (geese) and a show (mating or fighting geese, it's hard to tell sometimes.)

Did this one in about 45 min standing on an old bridge near my house.

Recent Brushstrokes



Spring Bank

I painted this piece today by the river near my house. I love this park and paint there often.

Sometimes you don't need to look far for subjects. This is my son's wagon with sprouts in egg cartons we are getting ready to plant soon.
Lower Cato Falls
10x14
oil on board
This on I did about 2 weeks ago on the first really nice day of spring. While I was paining a hiker told me that in a few days the river bank would be covered with thousands of garder snakes waking up from the long winter. I didn't go back to check.
Devil's River

I did some studies of this spot at a paintout last year. This is one that I brought out and worked on some more.
The Homestead
oil on canvas
10x12
Once again, I looked no further than my back yard for inspiration.
