Running Fences, 12 x 16, oil on panel

SOLD
Every year around this time I get depressed. It is tax time and I have to pay inventory tax on all unsold work. Perhaps you'd like to help me offset this amount a little. I am going to periodically add a piece of work to this blog that I will put on eBay to sell lots less than retail. For instance, the bidding on this one will start at $10. The frame is included. Good luck.

"...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.

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.

"Eraser", oil on panel, 6 x 6

This is a well worn buddy of mine. Not the kind I usually use, found this one under a table in the studio. I like the green color though and the fact that the edges are not hard and straight like so much else in my studio. I guess being a landscape painter primarily I prefer the more irregular edges.

"Orange Gate" 18 x 14, oil on wood
This is a scene from the mountains in North Georgia. I am always drawn to a strong play of light and dark with a splash of color. The clearing skies from a summer storm help by adding the compliment color blue to play against the orange of the gate. I really like the depth I got in this painting.
