I made two trips to this location. The painting was ok after the first session but I felt I could improve it with one more go. I think it worked.

The First Biker - SOLD
8x10 oil on canvas board.
By the time I finished this sketch the street was full of motorcycles. They had just opened their brand new back patio and the party was in full swing. I noticed on the drive home that I was humming, "one bourbon, one shot and one beer".

Sunday at the Lake
8x10 oil on canvas board.
A very pleasant morning at White Rock Lake. I was drawn to this spot with the willow growing right across the river and the lake beyond.

Deep Ellum - SOLD
9x12 oil on canvas board.
I had dinner on Friday evening in Deep Ellum with two co-workers and knew I had to paint there. Saturday morning I returned to try and capture a bit of the neighborhood and a bit of the Dallas skyline.

Peaceful Afternoon / SERENITY NOW!
10x10 oil on canvas board.
I had set up my easel and was almost half way through my sketch when a policeman came up behind me. He asked me what I was doing, the easel, the painting, the brush in my hand somehow didn't register with him. As my friend Rick said, "he won't be making Detective anytime soon". Well it seems that I was painting on property belonging to the Meadows Foundation, specifically the Dallas Preservation Society and had to leave. They were closed and I was less than 20 feet from the sidewalk, it didn't matter. I scraped down my incomplete sketch and went home. I needed to calm down and this quiet scene in my apartment did the trick for me.

Good Morning Pickets - SOLD
9x12 oil on canvas board.
I am going to try to paint before work, at least a few times a week. This morning I painted this fence at the corner of Oak and Greenwood Streets.

Auto Rest
14x11 oil on canvas board.
It is disappointing that when I get home after a hard days work, my truck has the better view.
