"Half a Yellow House" sold

I am getting ready to show my art @ One Oak Place and am scampering around looking for matts and frames.. a friend gave me a greenish small matt that really looked good on this painting.. (i had started in a workshop 2 years ago).. I chopped it in 1/2.. yes, it was painful, but it had to be done.
Sold @ my Reception

"A Roll in the Hay"

Went to paint with the Cormorant gals the other day and we all received the same large B&W photo of a scene to paint.. .. there were square bales on the photo, and that just wouldn't do... Again I added a farm yard, .. love the bales and purple sky.. a little disturbed by the goofy mountain shapes..

I "fixed" the weird mountian shape, (new photo)

Now it looks like a purple ribbon. what to do, what to do?        Donated to a silent auction..

"Stairway to the Farm" SOLD at Hawley Art Show

I used a photo i had taken so long ago, that i can't remember where it was... i loved the shadow coming down the steps and the neat rocks.. I made up the farm scene, as usual, it is a "farm" scene.. we paint what we know, i guess, altho I don't know much about farming but apparently had a good childhood and good memories of where i grew up..

I had several "farmer fellows" standing around but no machinery (that would have gotten a little cluttered) so decided to erase some of them and have a 'crop' growing or whatever.. fun..

SOLD @ Hawley Show...
