May Show

Here are a few shot of my little gallery in Manteo. I took all the shots before the pursedogs showed up.

Bait on ice (SOLD)

I photograhped this without the flash. a lightbulb close to the canvas. The most fun paints are the ones right out of your head. Acrylic on linen. 9"X12"

(SOLD)

The Beach Road

I am trying to determine how few shapes and colors represent a universal view of North Carolina Highway 12 (the beachroad) . How few strokes are required for you to recognize and think, "yeah,.....we're at the beach." Could be very boring or........aligorical? I have been thinking about this and then the idea "jelled" into this painting after a comment about unplugged lowercase art. See milepost 3.5 "life is just flyin' by"! You can buy this painting directly from me for $250.00

Bluefish (SOLD)

When I heard about the bluefish blitz's that happened along North Carolina Highway 12, I knew I had to move here. I have been very fortunate to say that I fished lots of 'em! From the Virginia State Line to Ocracoke Inlet I chased these guys. I never kept one. A lot of them ended up in dumpsters in Virginia. They have an oily taste. Ginsoaked boy claimed he could catch them with spell check and a garden hose! Acrylic on linen 9"X12"

SOLD

Well Just Because

More of those shore birds making a living. Acrylic on linen 9"X12". You can buy this painting directly from the artist for $75.00

Flounder

Summer Flounder. This painting can be hung at any angle. Something completely different. Throw the little ones back or else! Acrylic on canvas 24"X24" this painting is no longer available.

Debbie's foal

Debbie is an internet friend. her blog is on the bottom of the page. see the foal there. This painting is kicking my but. lots of hours. some progress. I am down to 40 layers of paint on poor debbie's face. The good new's is she lost 20 pounds, but I can't finish the face. I tried a cap and that didn't help. how can an area 1" X1" be so tough. Acrylic on canvas 16"X18"
this painting is no longer available.

BANG BANG (painting with remiss)

Two bucks by the lake. Take careful aim. Do not miss. Your bullet may ric-o-che, and kill somebody! Take a deep breath and say goodnight. Acrylic on canvas 36"X24".This painting is no longer available.

State Bird

South Dakota invites "out of state" hunters to come hunt their state bird. Every year the bird literaly runs for its life. Can we discuss open season on the cardinal. I have fond memories of shotgun blasts blowing these beautiful birds out of a red morning sky. The ring neck pheasant was imported to the great plains from China. Acrylic on Canvas 18"X18"

Round (SOLD)

This is a familiar scene for me. I guess I have painted this house in a variety of ways maybe 5 times. I should be tired of it. But this is another scene along North Carolina Highway 12 ( the beachroad) Acrylic on canvas 12"X30". (SOLD)

OBX aframe (SOLD)

I drive past this house a lot of days. You have too! Oceanfront Yellow AFrame. This place has seen more storms than it's fallen neighbors. Erosioin never rests on the Outer Banks. This is just like another sunset scene along North Carolina Highway 12 ( the beachroad)

Acrylic on canvas 16"X24"

KITTY HAWK MEETING! (SOLD)

Nobody even told me there was going to be a meeting. I walk through the Kitty Hawk Walmart to buy canvas and candy. I wonder who are these people that are on my island! Meanwhile, this is another scene along North Carolina Highway 12 (the beachroad). Acrylic on canvas 16"X36". (SOLD)

Mile Post 3.5 (Donation)

Just over this mound of sand lies the entire Atlantic Ocean. Its awesome. I moved the power pole to a more prominent position in the painting.

Acrylic on canvas 12"X18" I donated this painting to the Dare County Arts Council. $150.00 (I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did.)

What else would you call it? Its just another oceanfront scene along North Carolina Highway 12 ( the beachroad) sometimes called Virgina Dare Trail. Acrylic on canvas 20"X16"

(SOLD)

Sidewalks Fences and Walls(SOLD)

Another bar scene. I like sidewalks fences and walls. great Solomon Burke song. Don't drink and drive on North Carolina Highway 12 the beachroad! Acrylic on Canvas 24"X24" (SOLD)

Jennifer's Rooster

Jennifer, Thanks for the great photo's of this bird. I thought it best because I want some more photo's. I will change the name on the ticket. You take good shots. more chicken please. Another shot of that beautiful bird on Buzzard Bay. Acrylic on Linen. 9"X12"

Lagoon Como

There is a picturesque lake somewhere in Italy called Lake Como. A lot of respected painters try to capture moments in places like that or Venice. It looks a little like this only there are lots of stone vases with red geraniums set out along orange stucco walls. Other than that its still Lagoon Como. Do you like sausage on your pizza? It is difficult to turn away from beauty like this!

Acrylic on Canvas 12"X24"

This painting is no longer available.

Spotted Hog

A spotted hog lived in a grove of trees. He wasn't wild, just wary after the eartag incident. We saw him in the early mornings. In the afternoons we knew that he was sleeping in the shade of the cottonwoods. That is how it used to be, a long time ago, before the Lowe's parking lot. Acrylic on canvas. 24"X16". You can buy this painting directly from the artist. How much is pork in euros? $100.00
