Be Back To Painting Soon!

"Out Back of Burton's"

16x20 in. Oil/Canvas

I haven't disappeared from the face of the earth. I started a new job on the first day of December and it has been all consuming along with the all consuming Holidays. I've been busy building a website and doing all kinds of graphic design work besides working my regular job so painting has been pushed to the back burners. I'm ready to get started again. So, I'll start posting again soon. I the mean time here's an older painting of a little farm that's about three blocks from where I live.

In The Country - Exhibit at United Country Wichita

SOLD! Green Basket

I just love the colors in the painting, I'm sure I'll paint this basket again.

SOLD! A Snifter's Worth

I painted this some time ago and it finally has a home.

Longaberger Basket

This pen and ink drawing is of a small Longaberger basket titled "Discovery Basket 1492 -1992". This is one of the many Longaberger baskets in my wife's collection. I must say I have a fondness for these baskets myself.

Spartus six twenty Camera

I just started a new Moleskine and this is the first pen and ink drawing in the book. I must say that I love old cameras; there is something about the thought of these old cameras capturing moments in peoples lives and the effort it took to see the results. There was always that time of anticipation and sometimes excitement when you first got the pictures back. Who knows if the pictures this little camera produced are still around. I hope they are stuffed in a dusty photo album somewhere with names on the back telling someone somewhere about a moment when the world was much younger.

Art on the Trail

I had a great day of painting. I participated in Art on the Trail at the Great Plains Nature Center in Wichita, Kansas. I was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the wind was practically nothing except an occasional gentle breeze. What more could you ask for as a plein air painter. Thank you to all the folks at the Great Plains Nature Center, it was fun.
