"...by a nose", oil on panel, 6 x 8

Yep, more okra. Guess i won't cook this batch, getting a little long in the tooth. While painting them, I keep thinking that they remind me of crayons. Their shape and bright color.



Another favorite:
A Trip to Blueridge, oil on canvas, 16 x 20



In this one, I wanted to record the colors quickly, they were so strong. Again, blues and oranges, complementary colors. And it was such a dreary fall day. That helped with seeing the colors accurately, the sky being overcast illuminates everything with pure even neutral light. And for those of you not from the south, you should know that our soil is orange, that's right, orange due to the heavy clay content. And Blueridge is in the Northern mountainous part of the state.
Email me to buy.
