In Hot Company

"In Hot Company"

8" x 13" acrylic on gessoed masonite

Here's another one of those paintings that has tickled my mind for some time.  I've never put the original up for sale before, although I've sold at least a dozen prints of it in the 11" x 14" format that you see below.  It's been hanging in my kitchen for ten years.  Today I took the jigsaw to it and cut the original down to 8" x 13" ... no more tickle!

Fresh Off the Turnip Truck

"Fresh Off the Turnip Truck"

8" x 8" x 1.5" oil on gallery wrapped canvas
Macon Arts Gallery

Sometimes that's how I feel in this computer fast world...fresh off the turnip truck!  But it has so many advantages, like being able to see an amazing array of artwork with the click of a mouse.  I'm able to keep up with artists that I admire, see videos that I use for instruction and inspiration, and take part in forums and discussions on issues with artists from all over.  It's totally fantastic in this regard.  The world is my market... but it's everybody else's market, too.  This pushes me to learn, to push my own envelope, to expand. I may feel like a turnip sometimes, but at least I will never become a stale one!

Best Value

"Best Value"

5"x6"x1.5" oil on canvas

This little study reflects what I've been doing when not painting... canning tomatoes out of my garden! I plan to expand this study into a larger canvas and call it "Waiting to be Canned". Prints are available on Imagekind.
