Full Moon Eagle Marsh Landscape daily painting Contemporary



"Moon Rising" 6" x6" oil on primed masonite.

This is a nearby wetland preservation named Eagle Marsh. As I drive by it is always fun to see how many different birds you may find. Especially in this old dead tree. The moon rising at dusk was an irresistable sight.

Tennessee Mountains Driving at Dawn Oil Painting



"Tennessee Morning"

A couple weeks ago my family and I were driving through the Tennessee Mountains. It was very early in the morning and the fog from the night before was burning off. The fog still lingered in some areas making the landscape blue and hazy. The sun lit up the bare trees here and there. This was fun and challenging.

Barn Painting Red Barn Contemporary Rural Landscape



sold
"Big Barn Little Barn" Boy did I struggle for a time on this one. I scraped and started over a couple times especially in the sky. It was a gray day, light sky with dark gray clouds rolling through at a fast clip. It was cold and damp. Finally I think I got what I was trying to "say". I really like the texture throughout. My camara did not, especially in the light sky. This painting is 6"x6" oil on primed masonite artboard.

Children Impressionism Painting Contemporary Siblings Boy Girl Brother Sister


sold
"Children Exploring" I have painted this in my head many times. A picture of two of my children climbing on rocks, has been sitting in my easel drawer for years. I sat in my studio uninspired and ready to go fold laundry instead. I came across the photo and that was enough. The laundry would have to wait. I have always loved old impressionist paintings of children. I am glad to finally paint it. Maybe I need to do this more often. hmm....

This painting is 6"x6" oil on board.
