The Wise One

Hello Friends,
This painting is inspired by my family's yearly hunt in Arkansas. My pap, who was my stepfather, actually named this painting. He was an avid hunter. He had very strict rules to follow about which deer he would allow to sacrifice their lives to feed our family. Absolutely no does, with young....for example. His laws were laid down and followed. I was debating over a name for this painting when it was finished. Pap said the name should be "The Wise One". I asked him to explain his thought. He told me, "Do you know how that deer got to be old enough to have a rack that size? Because he became...Wise...." It made perfect sense to me when he explained what he meant by that.  This is 5X7 Acrylic on Gessoed Masonite. It is available for $30 With FREE Shipping in the United States.

Company Come to Call

Hello Friends,

This was a fun painting to do. Sort of a different style than I usually paint, so it was a challenge to go into the folk art style. This is sort of based on the Southern tradition of not letting the daughter of the house visit with her fellow unattended. So the house maid is in charge of chaperoning the courting couple. The handsome fellow can come visit on his horse, but not without the watchful eye of the help. LOL So much fun! This painting is Acrylic on a 7X14 Stretched Canvas. The Original is for sale.

Mallard

Hello Friends,

This was a really fun painting to do. My mom lives on a lake and has lots of these fellas come and visit. They love to steal the bird seed she puts out for the red birds. They are really brave and don't even care if the dogs are out. It's really funny and enjoyable to sit and watch. I wanted to see if I could capture the iridescent quality of the blues and greens in the feathers against the water in this painting. Such beautiful creatures. This fellow is available for $30 with FREE SHIPPING within the United States.

Green Tree Frog

Hello Friends,
This painting was my attempt to sketch with my brush freehand. I like to work on my drawing skills along with my painting skills. So to start with a blank canvas, or in this case gessoed masonite is always a challenge. I sketched the drawing with my brush using burnt sienna thinned with medium and went from there. I wanted to see if I could get the frog sitting correctly on the flowers as I saw in the reference photo and see if I could give the impression of him sorta coming at the viewer, like he's really interested in what you have to say. It's 8X10 Oil on gessoed masonite. I'm happy with it. I'm always trying to improve my skill. I hope you all enjoy. This guy is available for $30 with FREE SHIPPING within the United States!
