Corsage

"Corsage" 5x5 inch Oil Canvas/Panel $60

My wife, Mardon', is a wedding coordinator and occasionally she brings home a little token like this little corsage. It was just calling for me to do a little alla prima painting of it, so I did.  

Lock On A Date Nail

"Lock On A Date Nail" 7x5 inch $90

I'm always looking for interesting things to paint, interesting to me that is. This is an old Keline lock that I decided to hang on a railroad date nail from 1956. I have another painting entitled "Key On A String" and just so you know that key doesn't fit this lock. It would be kind of cool to see them hanging together in your home or office. 

Barber County, Kansas in Plein Air

"Barber County Wheat" Oil 5x5 inch Panel

"Barber County Bluffs" Oil 6x8 inch Panel

Spent last Wednesday morning in Barber County, Kansas, doing some plein air painting with David Vollbracht and five other artists from the Wichita, Kansas area. It was a beautiful morning with a gentle breeze. We had lunch at Buster's in Sun City, Kansas. I broke my tripod and right off the bat but I was able to still use it. I had my camera with me but unfortunately no replacement batteries so of course it was dead. I guess I will have to rely on my memory and the two paintings I managed to get done. Looking forward to another trip to Medicine Lodge in the near future.
