Cut Glass, 9 x 12, oil on panel

SOLD
Now that spring has arrived here in Georgia, I believe I will do more flower paintings! I have so many vases here in the studio, I love painting glass.

Zola, oil on board, 6 x 6

This is a quick and gummy painting of our Brittany Spaniel, Zola, who has since moved on to the great backyard in the sky where I can only hope that no one minds that he barks incessantly. He was such a beautiful dog. # I did this painting as quickly and painterly as I could, I've been bogged down in detail a lot lately and it's not for me. I prefer the somewhat ambiguous mark making rather than recording every detail as a court reporter might. I prefer that the audience members be able to fill in the blanks with their own life experience.

Serenity, 6 x 6, oil on board

SOLD
I did this painting because I've been thinking about a friend of mine in the hospital. She is a warm and loving and spirited woman who I am grateful to have in my life. And I am confident that there are scores more who feel as I do. Get well, M, and quick!

Tangerines

O.K., hopefully I've got my ducks in a row and can start this again in earnest. I really wanted to see how well I could get these guys to look real. They are a bit on the blemished side but I guess that had to do with the freak frost Florida got recently. Anyway, it is good to be back. I have two shows in the next month or so but I will push on with this assignment. Thanks for looking.

Single Serving, 6 x 8, original oil

Another plum painting. I love the colors in a plum when strongly lit. Am going to the Aiken Steeplechase races this weekend. Won't be able to post for a few days. Can't wait to gather some photos of horses to paint from.

Yep, another "movie". I learned a lot from this, I took notes each time I took a picture. There was one point when I thought all was lost. But there is that moment in most any painting, isn't there? The ones who push on will often come up with a gem as long as their being honest. I know, boy do I know there are times to cut bait. I'm glad I didn't here.
I'll post my notes with each image in days to come.

Match Book

Another from life piece done in the studio. I really like these small pieces, ordinary things studied. Kind of the sort of thing we do when we're lost in thought. Study something you take for granted.
