A record of my struggle to answer the big question "How do you work these dang paints?"
You'll find sketches and studies in oil, pastel, color pencil, pencil, and ink. I welcome comments, inquiries, and of course purchases.

Red Canna
7 x 5 inches, oil on board. $80
I've been in a green mode lately, maybe because it's summer. Here's a spot of red.
Part of Jim and Babette's back yard. It's a great place to be: private, green, a good mix of sun and shade, lots of interesting plants. And a kittycat who's fond of scaling the trees and swinging wildly from the branches like a trapeze artist (not pictured).
The sun hitting these dry bamboo leaves is excellent. The amorphous object to right of center is a poor rendering of one of Babette's clay figure sculptures. I will revisit this area.
Unless stated otherwise, all works are for sale. They may have a PayPal purchase button, or eBay link next to them. PayPal is a secure and easy way to send and receive payments online.

Most of the work on this site are small-format oil paintings, 5 x 7 inches and up. They are a great daily practice and a good way to experiment with different techniques, tools, and media.
Thanks for looking.
