"Cherry Chums" - SOLD


Click Here to Bid

Cherries are back in my grocery store! I very much enjoy them for their shiny red-ness. Also, I completely forgot to post the photo below - me and my two buddies at Lost Maples. On the left is Laurel Daniel, and on the right is Penny Lentz. I'm not quite sure who that wierdo in the middle is with the freaky (hat) hair. Please disregard.

"Cherryspresso" & "Upper Field" - SOLD


Click Here to bid

After much deliberation I've decided to put the rest of my landscapes from last week in my Ebay store, as "make me an offer" listings. I struggle with landscapes, and while I like the ones I'll post (I wiped the rest) I'd rather you guys decide what they're worth.

The story behind the painting below: One day at Lost Maples, Penny and I took a hike to find a new painting spot. After a couple of hours, with heavy packs full of painting gear on our backs, we came across a guy and his dog. He said "there's some stress up ahead." We thought - ok... After a few minutes and some extreme uphill, we thought "stress" was an understatement. But at the top we came out into this beautiful clearing with fields of this light grass and a few clumps of dark cedar. I said "Penny, even though we're hungry and tired and don't have much water left and it's another hour hike back to the car, we've got to paint this." So we did.

"Afternoon Light" & second book! - SOLD


Click Here to bid

Above is another painting from Lost Maples last week. I was standing in a small field in late afternoon with just one shaft of light shining across some of the grass. It was such a neat effect and I painted furiously to capture it. This is my favorite painting from the week.

AND, I am happy to announce the completion of my second book - 100 Small Paintings, Volume 2!!! I used Blurb again so you can go directly there to see a preview of the entire book and/or order one for yourself.
