A " Must See " SOLD

I have seen the term "A Must See" in the real estate ads..  perfect title for this.  I have done this house in several mediums before and did it yesterday in Acrylic.  Took the photo outside of Medford, OR. a long time ago .. the photo had a mountain in the background.. not a background for a flatlander.. Wheat field much more appropriate..

"How much is that Glass Thing in the Window??"

I don't think i ever posted this.. i painted it a couple of years ago and today i repainted the red, white, blue and green glass thingies. I painted this from a photo i took in Lincoln City OR, just down the street from Matt's condo @ a glass blowing studio.  I added the couple of shoppers and thought it was rather humorous. Have had a lot of comments on this painting.  Personally, i love it....  Acrylic on canvas..  In 2018 repainted and sold...

2013 Christmas exchange cards..


Time flies and it is time to paint little ditties for the card exchange that we do @ our Christmas meetings..  I have one more to paint. The Watercolor Soc and the Hjemkomst Art Group parties are soon.  These are Acrylic on "scrap" hunks of watercolor paper.. fun times...........

struttin' rooster SOLD @ RRFAS 2014

Painted this from a photo i took in Hawaii a few years ago. I am painting some "new stuff" for our Holly Jolly Christmas art sale/show next week.  Hope folks come and buy some presents for their Cool Friends.. dream on, right????   Anyway, this was fun.  I am enjoying my Acrylics again.  He looks good enough to eat, right??

Cold Day @ the Coast Donated to a friend's fundraising event.

Donated to LLS
  • I cut one of the paintings I did @ the Calvin's workshop.. I liked the sky, added more white to it.. Added the figures and they remind me of my grand kids frolicking on the beach in Oregon.

Walk the dog? Drink the wine? Ride the Bike? SOLD

Sold to Tanya.... 
Once again, my nieces and nephews seem to have the ability to take great photos that i want to paint. Loved this photo of my niece, Tara, and her sister's dog.  I painted the canvas bright orange and let a little of it show thru in places.  As i look at it now, the building in the reflection looks like a school bus..  good god..

Tree House Builder's Shoes GIFT

I am getting back to my Acrylic Paints.  My nephew, David, posted a photo of his retired work shoes on FB. I got permission to paint them as I have always loved painting foot wear, for some reason.  Background color was a dilemma so i went with all 3 color possibilities.  I got a little crazy following the laces around.

Early Morn @ the Lake Sold to Brita

I have painted these canoes a couple of times.. i think they are so neat. This is painted in Acrylic on a "Gallery" wrapped canvas.. i tried to paint morning fog but it looked a bit weird.  i don't think the red boat in the background is that red on the painting.. photographing acrlyic paintings is tricky.
