Louisiana Sky Two - SOLD

Louisiana Sky Two Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping. I stopped along the road the other day while running a couple of errands, and the sky was just wonderful. I did these from the photos I took of the sky. This is not unusual to see these July afternoons. The horizon did a fish eye, but it really is straight. Thanks for looking.

Gauchos on Yellow - SOLD

Gauchos on Yellow Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. What I really liked about this one when I got it set against the yellow paper was the little sweep of orange light peeking through the space between the two front pears. It gets a little glow going there. Thanks for looking.

Gaucho Pears - SOLD

Gaucho Pears, with Detail Oil on Canvas Panel, 7" x 20" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. I added the detail to more truly show the colors, this one isn't as green as the first photo shows. I bought these pears at our local supermarket, and I love them for all their lumps and bumps. New produce, what fun! Thanks for looking.

Red Boat at Scott's Cove - SOLD

Red Boat at Scott's Cove Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD at $85.00 plus shipping. I did want to try this one again today, so a fresh canvas, and more careful preparation. I do like it better, but it's also bigger: more space to paint. Thanks for looking.

Small Red Boat - SOLD

Small Red Boat Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. To my eye, this one just simply didn't turn out. It's from a photo I shot at Scott's Cove along the Potomac River a couple of years back. The image was so appealing, but I couldn't do it justice today. Once in awhile, you just forget how to paint. It was one of those days...BUT I did find a terrific church! It's called The Dwelling Place, in Lake Charles. Thanks for looking.
