This study started out as a sketch and developed into this fun spontaneous tree scape.

This beautiful child was the subject for a new color palette that I wanted to try. The limited palette gave me great results and again I achieved the darks without using the color black.

This was one of those scenes that you come upon and it stands out. It is also one of my favorite pieces that I have done.

This is a different subject for me. When I began to get serious about painting I would look for hours at other artist work and ponder how they arrived at deciding on the subject they painted. I like still lifes and flowers but it’s not one of the things that has ever been at the top of my list.
This is from my daughter’s back yard in Fort Worth and when I saw it I knew this was a painting waiting to happen.
This small reproduction doesn’t do it justice but hopefully you will get a good idea.

My youngest daughter, like her mother, loves animals. She wanted a pig, a pet pig. I generally gave into my girls as much as my pocket book would allow most of the time, but a pig was out of the question. The family had cats, dogs, birds, fish, but no pigs. And, I knew if I gave into that request then my days were numbered. After the new wore off I would eventually have a 300 pound, squealing, grunting, rooting, craping hog that would make my life miserable. I wouldn’t be able to get rid of the bristly haired mammal with out being branded as the anti Christ by a house full of crying females.
