Gouache Study

This study was painted as preparation for a class
that I'm going to try to teach in Sapulpa, Oklahoma
at the Water Street Gallery, provided we have enough
people sign up for it. It'll be a drawing class
with some gouache thrown in for good measure.
This is a combination of both and it's painted on
a cardboard backing of an old pad of drawing paper.
The opaque water colors have a nice effect on this
kraft brown color but you have to work fast because
the surface absorbs a lot of water and it leaves little
room for blending.

Sharon's Flowers

This grouping of hydrangea blossoms was painted

from life. That pitcher the flowers are in is over

a hundred years old. A challenge to paint because

of the unusual shape.

From the collection of Capt. & Mrs. Alex Adams

Pryor Farm

This landscape can be found just northeast

of Pryor, Oklahoma. While driving, I always

carry my camera to take reference shots and

this one caught my eye mid-morning while

driving back to Tulsa.

Still Life in Red and Silver

This is a 9" x 12" oil on panel painting

that was the result of an art lesson.

Very simple objects with a wide range

of textures and surfaces.

Resonance Painting

This painting was completed this week for the

upcoming auction for Resonance, an organization

in Tulsa, Oklahoma which is involved with women's

issues such as breast cancer. Many non-profit

organizations in Tulsa rely on these auctions to fund

their worthwhile efforts. Hope someone likes it 

enough to take it home!
