A Fair Day


The final update! I added some more hi-lights and put some shadows in the clouds so that they don’t look so flat. 



 A Fair Day

     20 x 16 Oil on Stretched canvas

I posted a version of this last April. I have updated it by adding some more elements to give it life and interest.

Old West Texas Farm


36 x 24 Inches
Oil on Stretched Canvas

This was a commission by a family member. If you refer back to my October 24, 2019 post you will get more about the development of this painting. This is the final outcome. It is a farm that belonged to the Grandparents of my husband and his cousin, Jay, who commissioned the painting. Jay gave me the details from his memory of time spent on the farm that was located in West Texas. It no longer exists, just a West Texas field. This is sort of a drone’s eye view of the place. Jay told me how many and what kind of cows, the pigs, chickens, farm implements, kind of car, Ford truck, peach trees, garden, watermelon patch, windmill with his bathtub below, root cellar, rattle snake, jack rabbits, the five oak trees, many acres of Cotten and the cotton wagons, the windmill. I think it is an interesting painting with some fun details to look for. If you look inside the truck you can see someone. Jay says that he is the one driving. This was a long process, getting everything just the way Jay remembered it. A new family heirloom perhaps.

Trees Apart


20 x 16 Oil on Stretched Canvas
Finished on all Sides

I’m calling this one finished, unless I take a notion to edit it, which happens sometime after I look at it for a while.
It seems that I have a rather large, 2 x 3 ft commission coming up. It will be a rugged mountain scene from Wyoming.

Between Rain and Rainbow




20 x 16 Oil on Stretched Canvas
Finished on All Sides

Below is a photo of the painting as I did it originally. After looking at it for a while I decided it needed something to make it more interesting so I got rid of the canola fields and replaced them with a country two track road, meadow with flowers, rainbow, rain, and a man and his dog. Now it is interesting.
