The Colonel's Daughter

This is a portrait of my wife. I owe her so

much more than I could ever repay. This is

my first portrait of her after all these years.

It's about time.

Tulsa Botanical Garden

I will be participating in an afternoon exhibit of art

at the Tulsa Botanical Gardens on the 24th of October.

The Oklahoma Society of Impressionists is having a

benefit exhibit and sale with proceeds going to the

expansion and development of the Botanical Gardens.

This is one of my paintings for the exhibit. It's

oil on Luan board and it's around 13 1/2" x 10 3/4"

image area.

Simple Still Life

Sometimes, it's just fun to sit and paint a

simple still life without a complicated composition

or subject matter. It's good practice and sometimes

turns into a painting worth keeping. I kinda liked

the result here. Trying to stay a little loose and

"impressionistic" here. 8" x 10" acrylic on masonite.

Simple Landscape with Pond

Nothing complicated but a good study on perspective,

values and color. This was done as a demo in class.

It's only 8" x 10". Oil on gessoed Masonite.

Oklahoma Farm Road

This is oil on gessoed masonite board

11" x 14" unframed. This is your typical

dusty country road in Oklahoma when the

heat just beats down and you start thinking

about an ice cold drink of water. We've

had our share of these days this summer.

Fishing at Gene's

This is an oil painting, 11" x 14" on gessoed

masonite. It was painted in the studio from a photo

that I took while vacationing in north central Arkansas

on the Norfork River, south of Mountain Home.

Beautiful place to fish for trout...in very cold

water that sometimes moves pretty fast.

Japton Creek

This was painted in oil on masonite, 11" x 14".

It's a small creek in Japton, Arkansas, early one

fall morning last year.
