" HILL COUNTRY " - SOLD

" Hill Country "  What could be around the corner ? Probably  more rolling hills and beautiful landscape to explore. I remember as a kid riding my bike with my best friend asking that same question. How exciting to be on a adventure with nature. Come join me as I explore the hill country in this scene.

" Summer Glow " - SOLD

" Summer Glow " I'm not sure, however I think sky's are my favorite subject. They are never the same not to mention the beautiful colors and variety of shapes and stages. They are always changing and  bring me closer to my belief in a true Maker. A beach sunset has two of my choice subjects, warm sky's and cool oceans what I call a fire and ice combinations.

" Breaking Light " - SOLD

" Breaking Light " The  Light changes everything that sounds Biblical ? You know the tree line has greens and browns in it right? That's what your brain tells you, I tell my students don't paint what you know.Paint what you see regardless of what you think.. Paint the color that is actually there I painted oranges and purples and just a touch of the green.. That's what I push myself to do its not easy. The Sun breaks through and the woods look like they are on fire it's the light. Paint the light and everything else will work out.

" Glowing Sky Clouds " - SOLD

The size of the Texas sky and this cloud filled it up. The colors and the glow was unspeakable. For a 5 X 7 painting there's allot in there. I'm Going to let the picture speak for itself.

" RED SHED " - SOLD

Set off into the distance and off by itself was this little red shed. The woods where very dark and the sun just broke through and it appeared like a stop sign. Well it caught my eye and so I new it would catch yours. Simple composition yet the colors are what sets it off . cooler foliage in the foreground trees and the warmer ground set by the sun that just appeared. Warm and inviting ready for your home to enjoy.

" FARMLAND FIELDS " - SOLD

"Farmland fields" The story is the fields of cut hay seem to have a unique pattern that captures your thought. The design and how they eventually get cut and laid out create a maze of interest. The sky was just warming up and yet the fields where still covered with the morning coolness . Just enough heat breaking through to cover the tops of the bails and shine through some of the trees. I prefer the painting to tell the story so her it is. Enjoy

More on Caddo Lake TX.,. I have had both these pictures in ornate frames as a pair, what an exciting set they make. I'm also thinking on painting an additional set in a more cooler than warmer setting.  Either later in the evening , late afternoon or foggy morning. The lake adds mystery and interest to the setting in the lake filled woods. The Spanish moss in also a bit different to paint as well.

" Country Stream " - SOLD

I was thinking about selling these painting with frames. Then I remembered the conversation I have had with people buying my art. That they loved the painting however didn't care for the frame. So here is a 5 X 7 painting ready for one of your favorite frames. It has a glow in the field that has caught my eye, probably could have used a touch of purple to set off the orange a little better. What do you think it may need ?

" Moonlit Sail" - SOLD

Taking a Moonlit Sail across the lake. A reflection of the sun off the moon. Guiding the boat in the darkness. Now there's a thought to think on. The silence and peace of just the sail and the calm and quiet of the nights rest. You can almost write your own story as you look into this scene. May your journey in life have a guiding light on your path and a peace that surpasses all understanding as you sail through life.
