"Desert Hare"

A "Daily Painting" in the relaxed colorful Southwestern style!  I haven't had so much fun in years painting these little jewels of creativity!

I have been working recently on triple primed watercolor paper that is glued to composite wood panels.  It's a great surface if you like a smooth surface for your oil paintings.

"Just For The Fun Of It"

 I was going to start this very "serious" painting of a strawberry today and all of a sudden I just felt like "I don't feel like being serious right now!"  I decided to do something very spontaneous and this was the results.  Like it or hate it, it was fun!

"Graphite Studies"

I have been feeling like changing things up a bit lately so I've been doing 
a little graphite pencil work for a change of pace.  
Really need to find the time to do more drawing besides the quick, 
get it to the canvas so I can start the painting part.

"Laying Down on the Job"

In my continuing quest to "keep it simple, small and quick."  This might be a bit larger than six by six inches but it was about an hour painting it so I guess one could call that QUICK!

"Pear Pleasure"

"Pear Pleasure" is painted with very thin and multiple layers
of color over many days.  Not exactly a fast technique but gives a 
wonderful luminosity to the painting.

"Peppers"


Time to take a detour on this blog.  

I have been painting 
very large paintings for a very long time.  
I am currently trying to force myself to paint smaller.
