Tall Tennessee Cotton - SOLDDaily Painting,Cotton field,Tennessee,late afternoon sunlight
A spectacular late afternoon alongside a cotton field. This dirt road leads down to the Elk River. My dog made it down to the river, I never did, the color of the late afternoon light stopped me in my tracks. I've been back several more times in the late afternoon and the light has been perfect each time. This painting is 9" x 12", oil on canvas panel.

A Morning at the River - Daily Painting, Ohio, River,Morning Light
I went home to Ohio for a long weekend visit with my family. On Friday I was on my own, the kids had school and my wife had to work. I headed to the reservoir and completed two small paintings. I then went home and painted two more in the back yard. I'll post the other three over the next few days.

Red, Yellow, Blue and Green - Daily Painting, Yellow House, Green Roof,Red Chiminey's, Madison, Alabama
I am happy with this little painting. This angle of the house and chimney's reminds me of a child's drawing of a house and the primary colors reinforced that feeling for me. I always become a little more nostalgic during stressful times. Memories, simplicity, basic shapes and colors comfort me.

Lilo and Stitch - background painting
I have been very busy lately, and wanted to post something. Awhile ago I came across a blog devoted to Animation Backgrounds and found one of my Lilo bg's. This was one of the most fun movies I worked on. For this movie we worked in water color.
I will try to get out and paint some new stuff soon.
