Gardens Past, Plein air painting

"Gardens Past"

14 x 18 inches

Acrylic on canvas

(ready to frame)

$1,800.00

This is another older painting that never got to post because I painted it before I started blogging.
The sprinklers got turned on while I was painting this garden statue. Some of the paint ran and so I played it up and exaggerated the effect.

I am still working on murals, so my daily paintings are taking longer. I do still paint everyday, but I am not pushing myself to finish one everyday because I don't want to loose the quality I am used to achieving. I have a new small daily painting very close to being done. I worked on it this weekend, but I also had company, so I didn't get as many hours in as I would have liked.

The huge wall paintings are really kicking my butt! I am wonderfully exhausted. It is a mix of adrenaline, accomplishment, and sore achy body parts! "Luke's Tractor" should be done this week. I am getting paid extra to add lots of extra subject matter. I have even painted little Luke in the tractor! And his dog chasing a rabbit! Too much fun.

Lily on Water

"Lily"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

This is an older painting. I took a picture of this water lily when I was out fishing on Lake Okeechobee. It broke loose and the stem floated up around the flower. I enhanced the colors as I painted it. It was both graceful, and interesting.

There has been a lot of theft and copyright infringement and now new laws are in the making that will not stop big companies from using any ones images, so I am beginning to implement watermarks on my images. Sorry if it is bothersome, but I would rather do this than stop posting altogether!

Thanks for looking!

This is the male bunting that I got pictures of through the window. Very blurry pictures to work from! I love the way the sunlight made all of his colors so vibrant.

Enjoy!

Bunting, wildlife art

"Bunting"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Not Available

I enjoyed taking pictures of this female bunting on our bird feeder, through the kitchen window! The photos leave a lot to be desired, but the painting turned out very nice.

This is not a great photo of the painting, tried three times, it really is much more vibrant in color.

I brightened up the colors in the sky and began adding some details to the back ground. The tractor still needs attention. The trees on the sides will go up and out, becoming much larger.

Detail of the crop duster, mud, cows, and distant trees.

Added clouds, roughed in the tractor, and added the beginning of the border trees.

First lay in of large areas of base colors. The walls are a denim blue color.

At the Lake Again, Bald Eagle,

"At The Lake Again"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

While I was at the lake I saw this eagle on the shore. He was feasting on his catch and then he flew around for a while! I got a few pictures of him, most where blurry. But I wanted to capture the memory anyway.

I love the way the clouds are dancing around.
