One of Linda's Angels, palette knife painting

"One of Linda's Angels"


I believe we all have lots of angels looking out for us. Linda must have hundreds, because she was in a terrible wreck that she should not have survived. Her car was crushed by a big truck.

This painting is a reminder of the power of God to touch our lives and heal us, we just have to ask.

Enjoy!

Rocks and Water, seascape rocky shore

"Rocks and Water"


Been out of town a lot lately, so I am posting this one from when I first began doing my daily studies. I still paint most everyday, but not as many small studies. I am doing more commissions and larger paintings based on these small ones.


This is one of a series of three. I really love the abstract shapes in the rocks, as well as the impressionistic look of the splash. Very fun to paint.


Enjoy!


Ready to frame.

painting give-away!

I am planning to have a drawing for a free painting at the end of this month. I'll even pay for shipping! If you want to be included, then send me a first and second choice painting (in case the first one sells before the drawing.) The painting must be priced at $150.00 or less.

See the side-bar of this blog for some of the paintings to choose from, of course I haven't gotten them all listed, but it might help you to decide if you don't have to search through all of the posts.

My friend has a 6 year old daughter that paints with me, and she will pick the winner out of a bowl! Sounds like fun to me!

Creation Sings, Montana landscape, Kootenai Falls

"Creation Sings"



About This Painting:

Did this one years ago. I used to sit here by the Kootenai Falls, in Libby Montana and watch the water roar. There is a swinging bridge that is very scary to cross just down stream from this spot. Sometimes I really miss my family and the beauty of the mountains.

It took me months to paint this large realistic painting! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Not for sale.

The Cave, hidden cabin, plein air at EdenLawn

"The Cave"


About This Painting:
From a paint-out at EdenLawn, in Jensen Beach. This little cabin is nicknamed "the cave" because it has always been overgrown with trees and plants. I love the blue door and the way the cabin is hidden in all the foliage.


Eden Lawn was originally a pineapple plantation. Then it was a place to rent cabins, with a pool and a fancy restaurant. Now it is under renovation, and has some very interesting old houses and cabins.

Of Thee I Sing, indigo bunting, songbird

"Of Thee I Sing"



Really like the background, it sets off the bunting without becoming distracting. I used photos from my bird feeder, and made up the flowers. I think it turned out even better than I expected!

Feel free to contact me for information on creating your own custom painting! This is part of a series that is custom made for a client.

ENJOY!

At the Park Again, plein air, landscape, pond with lilies

"At the Park Again"


Back at White City Park, just can't get over how beautiful it is! Felt like I was part of a fairytale, so I used purple and blue to get started, which gives it that enchanted feeling. I added Lori McNamara in the little pavilion in the distance, as she was painting on the other side of the pond (click on the image for a zoomed in view.)

At the Park, plein air, Florida art, lilies, great egret

"At the Park"



Had wonderful paint-out in Fort Peirce today -- Everything was bright and colorful. It was my first time out in a few months. A cool breeze, warm sunshine, lilies blooming, and all kinds of birds posing right in front of me.... Got a lot of great pictures while I painted this scene. Totally enjoyed myself.
