Duck Decoys

Duck Decoys
One day while out antiquing, I walked into a very dark, old barn filled with all sorts of interesting items. These duck decoys sat on a ledge by a window. The sun was bright and warm and beyond the barn was a barnyard with chickens. The contrast of the dark inside and the bright outside caught my eye and I snapped several photos for future paintings.

The Old Timer

Another place I am drawn to is junkyards. I love to see old rusty machinery. The structure and textures fascinate me. I am sure this old car was a prized possession in its day. Now it a sat in the scrapyard with other broken, rusty relics.

Still Life with Seashells and Feather

I am thrilled to be included in the group of outstanding artists who will be exhibiting at the new Brath & Hughes Fine Art Gallery.  I will be there on Friday, December 2nd, for their grand opening.   This is one of the paintings that will be exhibit at the gallery.

I have been away so much lately that it seems like I haven't had much actual painting time.  I was in Baton Rouge and New Orleans for a week and then went to Jamaica.  But I did get lots of photos for paintings.  Everywhere I went I saw so many great things to paint.  I shot hundreds of photos and now I am going to need to sort through then and find some good material to paint.
In the meantime, I am going to post some of the paintings that I have worked on before my travels.
