Class Clown, Horse Portrait, Impressionism

"Class Clown"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard
NOT AVAILABLE

I just couldn't resist this little character! He kept turning his head back to see me. This was a much harder view than I anticipated. I finally got all the angles right to make his head look like it was tipping . . . He had the most curious eyes and long, long lashes! Enjoy!

Lock Closed, Historical Plein Air, Drought

"Lock Closed"

8 x 10 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on hardboard

This morning I painted the boat channel, which has been closed most of this year. The water used to come up around the rocks. Every bit of the grass here was covered in water. Now the little puddle on the right is barely ankle deep. The tall grasses near the middle of the rock way are taller than a person while standing on the rocks.

This is the same area that I painted last November: "Over the Dyke."

Then I painted it again after the drought had set in,

back in May: "Over the Dike, Too."

Great Blue, realistic impressionism, heron,

"Great Blue"

9 x 12 inches

(Ready to frame)

Acrylic on canvas board

(canvas mounted on archival hardboard)

This is a take off from a painting I did in May called "Hidden Truth." I zoomed in closer and used a different photo for the bird. I wanted a great blue heron instead of a white egret. I reversed the whole setting but still kept the lighting from the right. Worked in thin dark layers first, then added the thick bright colors and details. I like the strength of this composition: the heron is off center, and the shadows behind him set him off.

Hope and Joy, Horses, Mare and foal, Realistic impressionism

"Hope and Joy"

I love the soft textures of fur and the glow of warm colors in this small painting. The miracle of a new life and the closeness of a protective mother give this painting many implications. Even the names of the horses imply a touch from our Father.

"Blue Cypress Lake"

This is another painting that I wanted to brighten up and add some birds. It was originally created in March. Now I have strengthened the reflections and the foliage. I especially like the birds. They seem to fit right in.

Boom Boom Boom!, Floral Plein Air, Bromeliads

"Boom Boom Boom!"

5 x 7 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on hardboard

This is a tribute to Lori McNamara, who does wonderful plein air palette knife paintings! I must say it was exciting, messy, and fun! This is my first one on location using only a knife. My previous knife paintings were done in the studio from my own photos.

These bromeliads remind me of firecrackers, such an explosion of bright color.

This is a young cow (cows often have horns too- not just bulls). She was quite skittish. I love the contrast and the motion here.

Rivers of Joy Again, Impressionism Landscape

"Rivers of Joy Again"

9 x12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

I did this painting a few months ago.Created from memory. I have reworked it some, added new colors and a couple of birds in the distance. I have gotten where if it doesn't have birds it just doesn't seem finished! Smile.

I had one of those cool songs that kept running trough my mind as I was painting it, here is part of it:

I will sing of His mercies that lead me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy.
