Birds Over Avalon (SOLD)

I painted on this for what seems like a long time. I didn't want to paint on it anymore.

Later we got some good news and I had a sandwich. I painted on it more.

The Honeymooners (it didn't work out)(SOLD)

I have a couple of easels, this one is my favorite. This is an old plotter stand with a piece of lvl attached and 3 12X12 tiles . It is on rollers. Works great. I am redoing a painting with dabs of orange.

This is my pallette of colors and where Mike Rooney told me to put them. I like it like this. I know just where to go to get mud. I keep a gallon of mineral spirits just to my right.

Sadly, when I started painting him, I realized that he couldn't make it without her. I will scrap him. Hopefully she can go on with some kind of life in a little beach cottage somewhere. I will keep the name as a reminder of their brief time together.

I have spent more time on these, is it progress?

I'm just painting shapes here. I struggle with warming the flesh tones.

Ben makes big plans

I am again on my quest for imperfection. The lifegaurd's name and other vital information about surf conditions are written on the blackboard on the back of the tower.

Walkin' the Dog (SOLD)

Sometimes the words that describe the struggle are just that! George Gloss often said, "...honesty is the best policy, unless of course, you are an exceptional liar."

Gaillardia Forests (on real men don't paint flowers) "Where are you goin' now, Biff?"(SOLD)

"..I'M GOIN' TO THE DANCE, GRANDMA!"

I usually rush to avoid painting flowers. It seemed like there were more important "man like" things to paint. I can draw pretty good vegetation, but today it's loose little flowers. This is a painting of a cottage in Nag's Head. Another September sunset on the Outer Banks. The gaillardia is a hearty little annual with orange and yellow petals, not to be confused with blue bonnets or pear trees. Bonita! This has been an enjoyable painting.
