Three Carolina Peaches hand painted in oil. A vineyard not all that far from where I live wants me to hang a few of my works for sale in their tasting room. I think this one would be a good candidate. I'll post the name and location of the vineyard once I've got some paintings there. These small still life paintings look even better in real life. The computer image takes something away from them.

I enjoy making these landscapes of hay bales. There is just something about them.

I removed this painting and reworked it. There were one or two small things that I just didn’t like. Now I think it really works well.

Lemon and a half

Here is a still life of a lemon and a half of a lemon on a saucer. I thought this composition would make a nice painting. For such a simple still life there sure is a lot going on. The light blue cloth, the red orange and yellow of the lemon, the blues and yellows reflected in the saucer, and the subtle purple in the shadows. Not to mention the translucent quality of the lemon half.

If you like my work or visit my BLOG please leave comments or send me an email. A link to contact me is on my profile page. Would love to hear from you. Right now I don't think many people even know I'm on here. I've decided to lower my reserve prices on auctions to hopefully jump start a few sales.

I grew up in a suburb that was surrounded by farmland. Both of my parents grew up on farms. Although I didn’t, farmland always holds a special place for me. I do remember baling hay on a friend’s farm and delivering those hay loads to a horse farm. In those days the bales were rectangular, some still are, but most seem to be round. I think the round ones are more visually interesting. Even though living on a farm wasn’t a part of my daily life, the times I did work on a farm left me with good memories. This painting of hay bales brings back those good memories.
