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.

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!

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.
