Befrosted Paths

Befrosted Paths
8X10, Oil on Panel
SOLD

We don't get a lot of snow in Arkansas that lasts long enough for a guy with a full time job outside of art to get out and paint it often.  So I jump at the chances when it does happen, even if it's just standing on my back patio and riffing greatly upon the view behind the house.

And obviously, this painting's been done for quite a while because even though it feels pretty chilly out there this week, summer is already trying to take hold here.

This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass
8X10, Oil and Golden Opens on Panel
SOLD

I remember well hauling square bales as a kid.  It was hot, hard work and at the time I hated it. Now it's nostalgic, especially since almost no one uses square bales anymore.

This one was started on location as a plein air using Golden Open Acrylics and finished in the studio with oils.

March 7


I'm calling this one done.  It will be destined to be an entry in a very specific show which I have wanted to enter for several years but have never had a piece that fit the very specific requirements.  I have until the middle of the summer to come up with two more that meet the requirements and I can finally enter!

I spent my studio time last night by prepping and entering two other shows.  One of these is a fairly prestigious show that I have also wanted to enter for several years but I have never overcome the fear of rejection before.
