"Leanin' & Ponderin'"

My second attempt for the Square Foot Art Show that is later this year in Bismarck. I sketched this farmer-guy from a pix in an old John Deere book i had given to my Dad for Father's Day back in the 80's.. i loved the shadow and body language it portrayed. This is acrylic on a wrapped canvas.

Assorted Vessels Donated to a benefit

This is result of a painting that i cut in 1/2.. original one is posted 2/7/10.. I love doing this remodeling of my work.  In fact I would like to do this to a lot of paintings i see exhibited out in public.. tee hee.

Howdy, I'm Here to Fix your Fence" wedding gift to Shannon.. not sure if she liked it..

I entered Bismarck's square foot show again.  Love painting on this foremat: wrapped canvas square!! As reference i used a photo my niece, Becky, had taken many years ago. Not sure if my title will fly.

"Ye Olde Redwood Fence"

I found an old photo taken on the prairie, there was tall grass (which is difficult to paint effectively), so i forged ahead using 300# paper on which i had washed off an old workshop painting.. whew!!!.  my art pal, Donna, suggested i add the diagonal post in the foreground ...it helped.  I really like it...
