The Path That Follows The River 10x10 oil

In the afternoon I found this path through the woods along side a river. I really enjoyed painting the moss covered tree trunks. It is always fun to paint in the woods. One of the perks of painting in the woods is the solitude and that other than the birds and chipmunks you aren't going to have to deal with an audience. I recently read an article about painting in the city and all of the difficulties involved. The most obvious one being all of the people that stop to watch and talk. The author came up with a great remedy to that particular problem...put out a cup and sign asking for donations! Nothing gets a crowd to move on faster than asking for a donation.

Scattered Color 16x16 oil - SOLD

In my studio is a small formica table with various tubes of old paint. I thought this would be a simple painting that I could complete in the evening after work. I was wrong. A tube of paint is not a difficult thing to paint but, 25 tubes scattered over a table top with pliers was sort of like doing a jigsaw puzzle, only fun.
