Water Study

12x9 oil on canvas

I created this during a workshop I attended with Jim McDonald. The workshop was at the Shanley House in Granbury, hosted by the Lake Granbury Art Association. His words of wisdom and easy manner made it a incredible experience. Jim works quickly and from memory, only painting what really moves him. It was so inspiring and freeing to apply his technique to my paintings.

Dreamy Landscape

36x36 x 2 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This is a commissioned painting I recently completed and delivered. She had a vision based on one of my paintings she viewed at The Dutch Art Gallery. (pictured included)

It was a honor to work with her and bring her vision to life.

Thank you Pam at The Dutch Art Gallery for coordinating this large project. It was a delight!

Chasing Sunflowers

11x14 oil on wood panel

Chasing Sunflowers was a plein air piece I started in a beautiful field of sunflowers.

We set up quickly and got to work. As soon as we started the owner showed up and asked us to leave. He did say we could finish, so we worked quickly. When I got home it looked like a hot mess. So I scraped the painting and started over! The landscape around this field was so beautiful. I was determined to make this one work.

Morning Melody

16 x20 oil on linen canvas

Getting up early to witness a beautiful sunrise was a way to reward myself for going to work. Now that I am retired I can paint those sunrises from photos I took every day, 5 days a week. One of life's sweet rewards.

Fresh View

20x16 oil on canvas

We took a country drive recently and passed by this bright red house. It has a garden of roses at the front gate. I had a vision of of bright and happy hollyhocks instead. I took out my artist license and it seemed to paint itself. Here's to warmer days and fresh views.

Lake Granbury in View

11x14 acrylic on canvas

I'm always delighted to get a peek of the lake from a different view. This is a from a spot just outside of the Acton Nature Center. For an added challenge I painted this with acrylic on canvas. Changing mediums is a wonderful way to bring a fresh approach to the creative process.

Thistle Way

20x16 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This was created in the studio from a couple of painting sessions on the river. The walk back to the car provided little pops of color with the wild thistles gracing the landscape. I completely changed up the color scheme by premixing colors of my choice.  I sketch out big shapes and applied the paint using a palette knife.  I left some of the warm underpainting showing.

Spring Trail

12x9 on ampersand board

The delightful painting was inspired from the banks of the Brazos river.  The wild flowers provided pops of color. 

Spending time in nature, painting, gathering ideas and observing are part of my process. I came home filled with ideas and created this.

River Impressions

8x10 oil on canvas

I had another opportunity to paint on the Brazos river in Granbury.  The path way on the bank of the river first caught my attention. The wild thistle plants added the color I was looking for.  This was another chance to push color and design.

Along the Brazos 8x10 oil on canvas

Painting on location in Granbury on the Brazos River.  This is actually in a "neighbor hood" with homes along this beautiful river.  I have friends that live here and love to get outside as much as I do.  I tried to keep my colors cool to reflect the cloudy day.  It was a challenge for me!

Wild Flower Blues 14x11 oil on canvas

The blue bonnets are at their peak now. I may have to practice some social distancing on a ranch near by.  My plein air box is calling me.  

This is from a plein air session a few years ago at the ranch in Glen Rose.

Behind Every Cloud

16x20 oil on canvas

This painting started as a demo for the Waxahachie Art Association. With all this down time I am finding unfinished paintings and working on them.  

Remember every cloud has a silver lining. You should not feel hopeless with the recent events.  Difficult times lead to better days.  Use this time to catch up on unfinished projects and enjoy the process.

All Blue 30x24 oil on canvas

This is actually and an older piece I revisited. Some of the gay feather flowers are showing through.  I like the new version!

On a Sunny Day 11x14 oil on canvas

While out on a walk I saw this pink house and took a photo. I've had the image for years and stumbled on it recently. I liked the pink house against the spring greens. You can tell the homeowner loves their little cottage.

Morning Light Show 12x16 oil on linen panel

I created this as a demo for the Mansfield Art Association.  When planning this painting I did a value study and a small color study. I've also created a 9x12 of the same scene. When I put so much in the planning the execution is a spontaneous reaction.I touched it up a bit in the studio, signed  it and called it finished.

On a Rural Route 8x10 oil on canvas

My goal with this small study was to focus on the values of each shape. It forced me to create shapes with values attached. It was a fun practice and one I picked up from a friend, Beth Eschbach. She provided a demo with the Lake Granbury Art Association on values. It is always inspiring to see another artist's process.
