Derby Day (SOLD)

I'm happy with it.

Detail

First I painted my original 20 minute horse and rider. That was kinda fun. I painted another. Then before I knew it, I had a horse race happening right here on Derby Day. This is a big canvas and I am sort of flying blind, in that I don't have a reference photo to use. I am really liking this.

more to come.

my original  20 minute sketch was indeed in vane. That horse and rider was replaced by another more to scale. I left my original rider just beyond the fence. I am aware that posting works in progress in a logical way that makes sense and is somehow allegorical is an art in itself. What that means is that the one in the middle is first, the one on the bottom is progress and the one on top is finished.

thanks for looking.

Half a mind to sell the horses (SOLD)

This is one of the wild asses on St. John.

I'd guess most that visit somewhere exotic have half a mind to pack it in and move there.

Emily's Dragon (SOLD)

One Saturday I painted with a young Emily. I asked what she liked to draw.

"Dragons!" was her immediate response.

Curious Lambs (SOLD)

I started this painting before I left for the USVI for a week.  It feels good to be back smearing paint on canvas and the excitement of chasing shapes and colors.

Young Turks in Paradise

I have been at my son's wedding in St. John, USVI this week. Cindy and I took a tour bus ride around the island and stopped here for a photo opp. Oddly enough some of the 80 or so in the wedding party were swimming here at Caneel Bay when I snapped the shot. Look closely and you will see a very pale  young turk walking in the shallows. Yikes. I may just move here, but just not today.

Rural Mancave

I was going to call this, "Red Barn on Mud Creek" but in lieu, (who says lieu?) of yesterday's piece, "Serious Mancave" I know of no better name. This is Bob's barn and his chickens. Bob moved south of town years ago and bought a small farm on Mud Creek. Bob knows more about cattle than any man I know. He was a good neighbor and he said he will keep back a few roosters for my next visit to South Dakota.

New and Improved Vickie

I had a friend that was dating a Vickie. They broke up and oddly enough he started dating another "Vickie". We referred to her as "The new and improved Vickie". I thought you might want to know that. I thought telling you was a mistake. This is the VICKIE II, or the "Vickie Eye Eye" docked in Wanchese Harbour.

Crime and Punishment (SOLD)

I have always loved the way a loyal dog would "stay" and take the whipping for whatever act it may or may not have done to please its owner. Cats, on the other hand,(except very small kittens)(kittens are so  cute), appear to want no part of the judicial system and have the ability to vanish  the moment prior to punishment being served, As a species they are immune to constructive criticisms.
