Sycamore In Spring

8"x10" Oil on Panel

with Palette Knife

SOLD

I love Sycamore trees. I call them "Lightning Trees" because their stark, white, branches look like a bolts of lightning to me. I have been itching to paint one for some time now. I finally got my chance while painting with the The Chestnut Group for the Cumberland on Canvas event. 

We will be sharing and selling our paintings for the Cumberland River Compact April 17 and 18. Details are in the attachments below.

30 Paintings in 30 Days: September, 2014—Day 5

Throughout the month, I will be painting subjects related to bringing awareness for Heifer Internaitonal. 

Ducks are very useful animals. They are easy to raise, don't need much shelter, and are happy in hot, wet or cold weather. They find much of their food like snails, bugs and weeds. Ducks can give us meat, eggs and warm feathers for a family to sell or use in their clothing.


I hope you take a moment to visit the Heifer Internaitonal website and learn more about ending world hunger "The Heifer Way."

Cherry Spring

6"x6" Oil on Gessoed Panel

with Palette Knife

SOLD

Spring is here! The bitter cold is finally gone and the trees are blooming. One of my favorite spring trees are cherry trees. Their blossoms are so delicate in both texture and color. More than than their visual beauty, I prefer listening to the ever-so gentle whisper they make when the wind blows though. It reminds me of God's spirit blowing and whispering through us.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge: January—Day 6.

If you can’t beat em, join em. As temperatures here continue to drop, and snow comes quietly down today, I have chosen to celebrate with a wintery painting. This is a very loose, impressionistic painting based on an unusual photo of frozen fog on trees taken by my brother-in-law. To all of you who are in winter’s path today, I hope you can give thanks for its beauty. May you be warm and safe.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge: January—Day 1.

Good Morning! It’s a new day—and a new year. A good cup of coffee is a great to kick-start the day. A warm cup in hand also encourages us to come together and talk with one another—sharing our dreams, our joys and our concerns. So, here’s to a good cup of joe to get us going. Here’s to another 30 days of paintings. And most importantly, here’s to sharing with each other and engaging in real conversation.

Have a good day!
