Carrie

Oil 14"x 11"

This is my youngest daughter Carrie. Carrie is smiling 

most of the time, but I asked her not to so I wouldn't

have to paint teeth.

Out to Pasture

Oil 24"x 36"

A rusty Buick I saw  in a field in northern Arkansas.

I saw it while visiting my wife's home town. It still looked grand.

Queen Mary

Oil 18"x 24"

Just one of many fat geese in Bowie Nature Park in Fairview.

Morning Chores

This old barn was about a block from our house. I wanted to paint it in the snow so I added the figure to tell a story and add color. The barn has since been removed.

Cozy

Oil 24"x 30"

A farm house and barn in Fernvale, Tennessee.

I used strong colors to give a more contemporary look.

Tea

Oil 11"x 14"

I just tried to get the shapes and values.

Spirits

Oil 20"x 16"

I do not like or use liquor, but I do like light shining through a bottle.

Savannah

Watercolor 22"x 30"

I love the shapes you find in boats and ships.

Tugs

Watercolor 15"x 22"

As I was looking for a view of a bridge in Charleston I  came across these tugboats.

Sunk

Watercolor 15"x 22"

Wetlands are a beautiful place to paint.

Cedar Place

This winter scene is on Hwy. 100 west of Nashville.  For years this business has made mailboxes, picnic tables, chairs, swings and doghouses.
