Used Ottos !!!!!!!! SOLD



I sure am having a good time with the car photos Margaret Kelley gave me!!!
This is done with Acrylics and i tried to save some of the underpainting colors. Not sure about those crazy "buildings", as they just appeared. May have to work on them abit..
April, 2011, added the purple building and more colors to this work.. Acrylics are so versatile and fun..
 SOLD @ Pekin art show 2012

another exhibit

I just returned from driving to Pekin ND.. i was designated driver for 12 Fargo artists to deliver their work for this popular juried show. It will be held June 23-27th. Pekin is a town of about 80 people and has 3 exits (2 alleys, 1 main street). Their show has become very important over the last 10 years.
I also have 7 paintings hanging at the Sweet Dreams Confectionery shop in Fargo, for the month of June.. they are mostly from Judi Betts workshop.

Three's a Crowd GIFTED


I just painted my centerpiece on the dining room table.. Pears are the "extreme subject" to paint.. great shape and color... probably why there are a billion pear paintings out there.. but these are mine. Background is more purple but photographing acrylic paintings is tricky. Gift to the condo @ the beach.

Flat & Broke SOLD


I found this sketch i did 20 years ago.. not sure where the idea came from. I love looking at Ron Morrison's paintings of old cars,etc. on his web site... I used the wet-on-wet technique on the car on the right but went back to "my" style on the green car.
SOLD @ Uncorked...  '12
