Tailgater's, Hope, Hempstead County

Tailgater's, Hope, AR
8X10, Oil on Panel
SOLD

This is a little sports bar in downtown Hope, which as everyone knows is the hometown of former President Bill Clinton.  This place was doing a decent bit of business for the time of day we were there.  That was before the Razorbacks season went into the tank.

St. Peter and Paul Church, Morrison Bluff, Logan County

St. Peter and Paul
11X14, Oil on Panel

I noticed this awesome little bright red church out in the middle of nowhere just across the Arkansas River south of Clarksville.   I really wanted to do a building portrait of it but also I plan to do more paintings showing it in it's landscape.

This painting will be in my upcoming solo show at the Van Buren Center for Arts and Education.

Spadra Creek Bridge, Clarksville

Spadra Creek Bridge
8X10, Oil on Panel

Spadra Creek cuts through the center of the town of Clarksville.  On both sides of the creek are walking and biking trails including some mountain biking single track.  It's very impressive that such a small town has devoted as much time and effort as this to a multi-use trail system!

Burge's, Lewisville, Lafayette County

Burge's
8X10, Oil on Panel
SOLD

Can't say I know a whole lot about this place but I believe they have a location in Little Rock as well as this one in Lewisville.  Lewisville is down in the southwest corner.  I didn't have time to stop and sample the food here so maybe I need to take another trip down this way.
