Misty Way 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Rain Scene



SOLD

I have been working in pallet knife for the last few weeks in my larger pieces but haven't tried the technique in my small daily's. It's a challenge to work that small with a knife but I think my attempt was very successful. I will do more and hope you like them.

An Early Start 5 x 7 Acrylic Sun Rise Painting








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H


I wake every morning to a sunrise just outside my bedroom window. As I sit in bed sipping my hot aromatic cup of coffee I just admire how each day they differ in intensity and volume but are always beautiful. All to soon my coffee cup dwindles as fast as the sunrise slips into a healthy morning sky but catching their essence in a painting is deceptively easy. I usually paint from my photographs but this daily painting was strictly from memory and beautiful memory.

Today's Menu 7 x 5 Arylic urban landscape of Caan France



SOLD

This painting is of a street in Caan France. I had stopped to take a break from picture taking to have a glass of wine and a bite of cheese. The menu from the restaurant was displayed on an easel and back dropped with the beautiful red door bathed in the late afternoon light of the South of France.

Early Delivery 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Paris Landscape Painting



SOLD

I'm typically a early bird and in Paris I was true to form. I happened to get some of my best photographs then and the light was fantastic. There was humidity in the air so the light was a bit hazy which gave this scene a wonderful glow. The shapes of the delivery trucks are so different than here in the states. All of these are just observations but none the less bits of information that makes an adventure just that an ADVENTURE!

No matter what I paint from my trip to Paris it brings such awesome memories. I was just getting a cappuccino when it started to rain. In my world that is perfection! I finished the day sipping my coffee and taking wonderful rain scene pictures. A journal entry day for sure.

The Old Red Wrecker 5 x 7 Acrylic Original Truck Painting



SOLD

This painting comes from another photograph provided by Rich and Katrina from Texas. Thank you in advance for allowing me to paint from your awesome photographs. This wrecker has so much character generated from the styling and the faded colors. I had a blast painting it!
