" RIVER BIRCH ADVENTURE "

' Click here to bid "

Still on my adventure to improve my landscape skills. I will say that I'm loving the results of this one. Warm blue skies and cool blue waters.  Their where allot more birch trees than what I painted way to cluttered. Let me know what your thoughts are on this one.  

"RED ROOF INN"

UPDATES, I have recently changed my photos on 2 of my previous posts. I have had collectors comment that my signature was taking away from my lovely work I agree. So if you look back on "CACTUS HIGH" and " CLASSIC TEA " you will see a updated photo.


This little barn if you can call it that was capturing the light and my eye. However the sky and background was somewhat subdued. I also thought how strange to have a light/white barn and a red roof and the cause for the title. I mention in a earlier barn post how these jewels are just disappearing one time I see it next it is gone. 
Enjoy.

Yellow Tops everywhere almost all the fields between Terrel  and
Rockwall . Found this little jewels sitting all by its self on top of a rolling hill overlooking I think toward Heath TX. Loved the shape contrast and most of all the view. Only thing missing was a few horses well maybe next time.The yellow tops where up to my knees we have had allot of rain this year.

"RED ORANGE AND CLEAR" SOLD

" Click Here To Bid "

I was painting 8X10 stretch canvas until one of my favorite painting got damages in shipping. Lately as you can see I have started painting 8X6 canvas on hard boards. I love the size because it is close to the same rectangle size as before. However my question is is this a good size for framing. I know allot of people use  5X7 to me thought this is way to small. Its amazing what a inch will do when you are used to painting 30X40.
  Well enough on that this is another still life I did over the weekend.
I have always been fascinated by glass  especially different color glass. Glass that is clear and have a tint of color like the big one in the middle my favorite. Then the lights and reflection enough said  got to love it. 
Enough blabbering take a look.         

" ORANGE TEA " SOLD

" Click Here To Bid "

I set up two still life's today wanted to do something different. I have this stainless pitcher and my wife has been enjoying these mini oranges. They taste great by the way and are now gone thanks to me.
I set it up on the mantel of my fire place because i wanted it at eye level. And through a piece of cardboard behind it a more neutral color. The most fun and challenging was the tea bag and where to place it. Of course the silver pitcher is just glowing with light and reflections. Both from the spot light and a natural blue light from the windows . Will be posting another one tomorrow see what you think.
