Roses In Red And Yellow

Another still life in oils on gessoed masonite.

8" x 10". I'm painting a number of these florals this

size for the OSI show in Tulsa at the Garden Center

on the 23rd of October. Hopefully, a few people will

take some of these home.

Crepe Myrtle Still Life

Earlier this year, a car jumped the curb by our house

and flipped up and landed on a large crepe myrtle alongside

the house, keeping the car from crashing into our living

room. Thankful that the poor plant saved the living room

but sorry to see it destroyed...or so I thought.

This still life contains blossoms from the new sprouted

plant that has arisen in it's place. Those are tough plants.

This is 8" x 10", oil on gessoed masonite.

River Tree

Here's another view painted the same day as the previous

image from a higher angle. Still really overcast with a drop

of rain or two now and then. This is the Arkansas River

in Tulsa, Oklahoma looking north towards the 11th street

bridge. It's an 8" x 10" oil on gessoed masonite.

Arkansas River Bridge

This is a plein air painting of the 21st street

bridge in Tulsa on a cloudy day. Painted last

Thursday morning..nice day outside for

a change. This is 8"x 10" oil on gessoed

masonite.

Rose Of Sharon

This is a painting, oil on panel, completed this

morning as a demonstration. It's 8"x 10" rendering

of Rose of Sharon blossoms clipped from the

plant in my back yard.

Fruit Still Life

This simple still life was painted today as a demo

for a class. Simplified brushstrokes and simplified

composition with a lot of paint on the brush.

"Think Masses" concept, yet again. This is 8" x 10"

oil on gessoed board.

Bill's Water Can

This is a small study in acrylics and it's

5" x 7" in size on gessoed masonite.

Midsummer scene in my father-in-law's

backyard garden. Sometimes, the simplest

images create fun paintings and this

was no exception.
