30 x 16 x 3, "Longhorn Gazing", $1400

These two paintings bring the traditional oils into a more modern presentation. As "Longhorn Gazing" shows, the paintings continue around the edges so you can almost get a sense of them occupying space.

His name is Taos. He is from Austin. He finally found a canvas that fits him. This painting is called "Horns of Steel". It is 24 x 48. He and I had a wonderful connection when I met him. Big. Friendly. Handsome. Regal. Strong. He had been in 3 paintings before this one and I finally did him justice.

Texan Inspirations

2008-06-18T10:14:00.001-07:00

I visited my dear friend from Highschool, Margie and her husband Tom, in Austin this week (June 13-19). An amazing time for sure. Some of the fun was finding the animals and painting in Tom's workshop (which was renamed my studio for the week). I am giddy with the alpacas, long horned cattle, sheep and Bebe the cat. Below is what I accomplished while I was there. You will be seeing more paintings from these animals as time goes by. "Horney" 12 X 9, $300 unframed

A Drive in the Country

2008-04-29T15:23:00.000-07:00

Driving down the lane-and-a-half country roads I stopped when I heard the cluck of some chickens. I parked in the driveway and called out for any inhabitants. Barb came out and I asked her if I could take come pictures for some paintings. (She is there in the 'Greenhouse' painting). Barb does permaculture gardening, is a vegetarian, has 2 windmills and several solar panels. I love just dropping in and meeting new neighbors - out here in the country 2 miles away is a neighbor. She ended up with 3 out of the 5 paintings. I think I will drive up a few more 'neighbor's' driveways and see who else I can meet. Be looking for Jean's cows coming soon.

Oils - A New Me

2008-04-20T12:13:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my new blog. In it you will see the work that I do at my home studio when I am not at my Pendleton Art Center studio. I am working in oils with a more traditional subject matter in somewhat of an expressionistic style. These are so different from the work that most people know me for that I thought I would give them their own life. Be watching for these works in galleries in and around the Cincinnati area.

Here are some of the current paintings. Let me know what you think.
