Garden Entrance

Garden Entrance

20x16 oil on canvas

My garden continues to inspire new paintings.  It is still blooming brilliant flowers with color bursting out. Being in the quiet of the garden is a happy place.  I created a small study before attempting this larger version. It really helps with color and design.  Where flowers bloom so do hope and happiness.

Garden Light

12x9 oi on canvas panel

This was painted at Chandor Gardens a few years ago.  I brought it out and made a few adjustments recently.  Over time it becomes obvious where changes need to be made for improvement.  Working on this reminded me of the pleasure I get when visiting a blooming garden.

Summer Courtyard

Summer Courtyard

14x11 oil on canvas

This was created at the Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. I met up with 10 other artist that came out to enjoy the peaceful setting. We were all set up within a safe distance..  We all focused on different subjects and came away with some nice paintings.  It was a joy to be outside creating art with fellow artist.

Thistle Way

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.

Facing the Sun 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I was fortunate to paint at a field of giant sunflowers recently. I have been painting them in my dreams every since. I was looking for patterns, shapes and movement in this landscape. Using a palette to introduce texture and color in the sky is what I imagined.

Smile for Miles

Smile for Miles 11x14

Seeing fields of these happy sunflowers brings a smile to my face. A small group of artist joined me to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The winds were strong with clouds moving quickly. The dust storm brought in a interesting light.  The sunflowers were still glowing for miles.
