Candyland

14" x 16"
I've been working on commissions and haven't anything I could post for a while. Here's a small one I actually did last year but I recently went back and made some changes. I keep trying to capture the look of lights at night and this one comes close to what I envision. A lot of fun to work on.

The Red Farmhouse

24" x 30"

I wanted to paint this house because of all the red color. I think that even though the house fills up most of the picture space, you can still feel the open fields around it.

Morning on Twelfth Street

24"x30"
At least I think it was twelfth street south. It was 8:00 in the morning.

Red Mountain Overlook

I'll be at Linn Park this weekend (April 25-27th)for the Magic City Art Connection. I'm at space 252. Hope to see you there!

Twilight

24"x30"
I haven't been able to spend much time at the easel lately but I plan to be back at it next week and posting more often. This is the last new painting I have until I get back to work. I love that time of day when it's almost, but not quite dark, and the lights start to come on.

On The Road

I'll be in beautiful Fairhope, Alabama next weekend, March 13,14,and 15th for the Eastern Shore Art Center's annual outdoor show. I'll have a lot of new work I've done since my last show, including this diptych. This is my first time to do this show but I've heard great things about it. If you're down there, please come by and say hello.

House With a View

18" x 24"
One of the many local homes clinging to the side of the mountain. I loved curving street and the shadows falling across it.

Pink Sky

18"x24"
Exploring the glow of a porch light and a pink sky.

Across the Road

18"x24"
Although this isn't an actual place, I feel like I've seen it before. There's such a feeling of space....and isolation in the country. This house looks like it may be abandoned, soon to be replaced by a doublewide.

The Face On the Wall

12" x 12"
Something a little different, a detail from a building on First Avenue. I haven't quite captured the expression on the face as it should be more sinister.

Red Flowers

18" x 24"
I wanted to explore that golden color that the morning sometimes has, just after sunrise.

Commission

24" x 20"
This is one of the commissions I was working on for Christmas. A smaller piece that captures their favorite part of their house and the shadows cast by a huge oak in the front yard. This one went to Memphis, Tennessee.

The Blue Chairs

30" x 40" (sold)

Shady Yard

18" x 24" (sold)
It's time for the Kentuck Festival in Northport, Alabama, October 20 & 21, 9 to 5 both days. The weather should be beautiful and the arts and entertainment are always great. Hope to see you there!
