24x36 oil on canvas gallery wrap....this was painted from a small study of an old barn at mr. thompson's.....the mountains were actually trees but i used my imagination and changed to fit my mood....i worked very carefully with details of weeds in the foreground and decided it was too busy.... so i scrubbed in more solid shapes to try and subordinate the foreground so the eye would go first to the barn

11x14 oil on canvas panel....795.00.....SOLD marsh view from beautiful st. simon's island.....a 5 hour drive from newnan, ga. .....myself and 2 painting buddies, battled wind, rain, and bugs for 2 days .....well, actually, the sun finally came out the latter part of the second day.....i had more color in mind for this painting, but everything was still so gray from colder than usual winter.....will post another painting from this trip after a few final strokes

18x24 oil....this was the first painting challenge of a 3 day workshop with marc chatov....this was probably the most difficult art workshop i have ever attempted.....i was very nervous and had a hard time grasping the whole concept of his approach in the beginning....this painting was not finished, but i was some what pleased with the colors...... did not get a good likeness of the model and the head seems a bit too large for the body, but i think i can work on that....... marc was a wonderful instructor..... i feel that i really walked away with a new sense of seeing color and mass.....really enjoyed all of the other artist and learned from seeing all of the different ways they handled the same subject..............2nd pose below 
16x20 oil.....this painting is from the 3rd day of marc chatov workshop.....we began the same as on the first day with massing in shapes.... 1st ....triangles, rectangles, cones, tubes, etc. then massing in colors....i was physically and emotionally exhausted after 3 days....i have never painted with such intensity.........but i suppose it is because human anatomy is very difficult for me.....but once again i did walk away with a new way of seeing color in skin tone and just being able to see, really see what you are looking at....but it is truly exhausting! 
5x7 oil ....150.00 framed........this is an old home site here in newnan....painted from a photo taken last year... used my imagination and added water and some rolling hills....we have to be creative in the cold weather..... cabin fever !!!!!.....SOLD 
5x7 oil...95.oo...fast study of apple.....not my strong suit....but a simple need to paint ....trying to practice for still life class...i have really enjoyed your comments on my blog....and always look forward to seeing all of your creations ....pray for warm weather for plein air soon

5x7 oil on canvas.....95.00.....from still life class....i really like the instructor....georgia nagle....she is very funny and great teacher...not available
i found this painting buried in my studio from a year ago.....for some reason i did not get around to posting this.....it is interesting to see how much we change in that amount of time, as far as how we see things and apply paint.........the weather is cold again here.....this means still life will be the ruler for a few more days or weeks......or maybe an enlargement of plein air study 
first day still life classes....good to stir up the senses with change from landscape.....good time, fun group...8x10 oil on canvas panel.....175.oo
oil on canvas panel.....finally out to paint plein air after bitter cold lifted....sunshine warming my soul.....i rejoice in my Maker!.......this is a home at the end of a winding beautiful country road....peace
