Frank & friends


I thought it would be fun to add this painting i did probably 40 years ago, in oil. I used photos from my parents 25th anniversary party which was held in their garage. Left to right: Neighbor, who didn't get the "dress up" memo, Uncle, Brother, Cousin and Neighbor. That was a great party...
I used collage b/4 I knew about collage. the glass of beer on the table (faded over the years) and the sheet music. This master piece has hung in our garage for a long time and i always enjoy looking at it.......

The Kartes Farm (commission )


This is a repeat performance.. I painted it several years ago, as a commission for Carl's sister.... but they have 2 sons and each wanted one. Luckily i had saved the sketch from the first one i painted..

Me and my friend, La Ditzy-I'm the one of the left..


Well, i just got home from the Elim Nursing Home Family Art Show Fall Festival Event. It was fun to be hanging out with 9 of my most cherished painting friends.. Sales were down as most folks were interested in the free eats and Elvis Presley.. yes, he was there in all his flesh.. I did sell a painting and a couple of cards.
A couple of Langdon folks have dropped in this week for Langdon Series cards. Always good to share my Langdon images..

SOLD @ Cormorant Show

Come and Sit #2 SOLD


This is from the Judi Betts workshop.. had it framed, hanging, etc, and I dropped it today and the glass broke, flew everywhere.. ANYWAY, i took the opportunity to photograph it.. Love those old chairs -- have painted them b/4.. SOLD

"In the Shade" SOLD


I found a useable small matt in my junk pile... i liked this part of a larger painting and just cut (painful) it out and matted it.. May do more of this..
