Tipped Over One year ago today I painted this but have always been a little bugged about it as It's place of residence was on my studio wall.

This is a 12x12 gallery wrapped canvas. To purchase visit my DPW gallery  where this painting is available for sale or auction using PayPal.

Salty good We are wonderful. We are plump and firm just like you would want us to be. We start out green and firm then someone pokes a hole in us and fills us with that red delicious filling, Pimento I think it is called. Which is better? I think it is the olive. No I know it is. We are better because Green is always better than red...right? Anyway we are not just good....We are Salty Good. This painting is for sale or auction at my DPW gallery.

Shrimping Shrimp boats are so majestic and old looking. When I think of them I think of something old and creaking with each roll of the tide. I know I am wrong but my thoughts are along the gulf coast. A place where seagulls fill the sky and the smell of salt is heavy in the air. 6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas For sale or auction at my DPW gallery. Follow the link to pay via PayPal

Warm Milk When I was young my parents was friends with a family who had a small farm. We would visit and the lady would churn her own butter and they had fresh buttermilk.

 Ok! I am always intrigued by artist that post how to. Well this may not be how to but how I did it. 1. I start by toning my canvas. Any color will do but I usually use Burnt Sienna today however I used thinned Thalo Blue and white.  2. Next I do a rough sketch with Burnt Umber thinned  #2 bright brush  3. Add some shadowing and what will be my darks. Thalo blue and burnt umber with maybe a touch of Aliz Crimson  4.Thalo blue and Aliz Chrimson for the dark purple flowers  5. Touch of white to mixture for highlights on flowers. Sap green and cad yellow light for greens with Thalo blue for darks and of course Aliz Crimson  6. rough in highlights on pot. White and ultramarine blue with raw umber  7. Cad yellow light with burnt sienna for interest  8. Using a #4 bright I scruff to soften shadows and lights on teapot  9. Adding some darks back in for contrast I paint in the background with titanium white raw umber mixed with ultramarine blue.  10.  I scruff into the green leaves and purple

Funny Little Cow As many know I just love love love painting cows. I don't really know why.

That was  fun but painting them is more than that.... 6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas For sale or auction thru my DPW gallery. Just follow the link to pay via PayPal.

Antiques A place where memories rest just waiting for someone new to fall in love with them. They hang around collecting dust while hidden in the corners, under things, out of sight until one day someone special comes along and falls in love. A special bond is formed and sometimes you find yourself in the situation of not being able to leave without it no matter the cost. This little antique shoppe is in Pigeon Forge, Tn. A beautiful building with beautiful things. 6x6 on gallery wrapped canvas. For sale or auction thur my DPW gallery. Follow the link to purchase via PayPal.

A Wreath On The Door Somewhere in the mountains of Tennessee sits this little church. A Crisp white exterior yet a welcoming wreath on the door. When I saw this place I could feel the smile spread across my lips at just the sight of it. It felt so homey and welcoming. Anyone could feel at home here it is truly one of those home away from home places. 5x7 mixed media. I painted this in acrylic plein aire but found it lacked something. I over painted  portions in oil and was somewhat satisfied with the results. $45

Coming Or Going We are a family from different sorts. I want to go this way while the others want to start out on their own. I will not be a victim of peer pressure.

Lazy Mountain Water The last painting done on location at Pigeon Forge,Tennessee. I had such a fun filled time with family and friends.

Shallow Mountain Stream No the stream did not really come this close to the house but that is the good thing about being an artist I can do what I want and place things where I want.  Sometimes my choices are good and other times not so good. 5x7 acrylic on canvas panel Private Collection

The Woods Surround Me In the middle of July on what will be a hot balmy day is a time early in the morning right after daybreak when the cool mountain mist makes everything wonderful. I drove through the beautiful countryside searching for the perfect place to paint. This was done at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. A beautiful vacation and time spent with family.  5x7 acrylic on canvas panel. Private collection

Mountain Reflections A place of peace can really be anywhere. I have been in a crowd yet so all alone in thought and peace. You have too. This was painted on a recent trip to the Smoky Mountains a real place of peace and reflection. Believe it or not I drug out the old acrylic paints and for the first time ventured out for some plein air painting. So much fun. My youngest daughter Lacy got up at the crack of dawn to go with me so someone did not kill me. I think that is how she said it. As you can see I am alive and well...for now. 5x7 acrylic on canvas panel. Private Collection

In Deep Water I am a lonely fish on my way to meet other fish. Yes I am in deep water but not like you think. I am sweet if you can call a fish sweet. I stay near my home and  obey my parent fish who don't really ask to much of me. One day I will meet a girl and  little fish will hatch out just like me. Yep and so is the way of the universe. So for now I will just keep on swimming and enjoy all that life has to give. Hey! gotta go now cause I think I see a worm. :).  Oil on 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas. $50 For sale at my DPW gallery just follow the link to purchase per PayPal

Eaten I am a crab and yes unlike the fish from yesterday I have met my demise. Someone saw me and thought I would be tasty. I hope I met their expectations. I guess I don't mind so bad as I was getting arthritis and was in a lot of  pain so I guess when you look at it that way they kinda got me out of my misery. I wonder if like dogs do All Crabs Go To Heaven? Oil on 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas. $50 For sale at my DPW gallery just follow the link to purchase via PayPal

Caught Am I dead? Is this heaven? Surely not what I imagined. The creatures here are so ugly. Two eyes of course, a nose and a mouth... is that what I think is a smile. This worm was not worth it. Somehow I don't feel dead.....Nooooooooo don't touch me. The hook is  out I guess then next step is shall I say out of the frying pan into the fire... That creature just took the hook out and is tossing me back into the water....Can it be that like a cat I have more than  one life. And I am swimming as fast as I can I must tell others... I promise I will never eat  another worm I don't care how good they look. Whew! that was close. Oil on 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas. $50
