Apples and Oranges
I had to watch my youngest daughter like a hawk to get this one painted. She loves the sweet miniature Clementine oranges and kept threatening to eat my still life before I had it painted. I don’t blame her much. Clemetines are so very sweet and so small you can eat three or four... »
The Magic Bowl
In many ways this was really a challenge painting. It took me some trial and error to get just the right amount of detail in. The metal marbles show a myriad of tiny highlights, not just the major one on top the few side highlights I have shown. The color in... »
A Few of My Favorite Things
It’s Spring here and my first daffodils are blooming. I’ve painted them here together with some of my favorite glass from the sun room. The box is an old cigar box I bought on Ebay. I like the look and smell of cedar cigar boxes though I neither smoke nor like... »
Reeds at Sunset
This is the Willamette again, but it could really be anywhere. I was struck by the way the reeds look like they are growing out of a sunset. Like the Broken Dock I painted a couple days ago, I began this painting by masking everything except the water. After the mask on the reeds dried,... »
It’s About the Shadows
This summer by daughters made dolls out of toothpicks flowers and buds, a game handed down to them by my mother. Here is a selection of their dolls in dramatic sunlight. It thought the contrast between the deep shadows and flowers would be striking. But I was unhappy with the painting when I... »
Cousins at the Brook
This painting is a Christmas present for my father. He took the photo a couple of years ago while I was visiting him in New Mexico. He, my daughters, and my niece all went to Bandieler National Monument. It was just as hot and dry as you might expect summer in New Mexico to... »
The Craftsmen Lantern
Last week’s art show was on OSU campus in Corvallis. Early Friday morning it was dry and clear and the morning light was stunning, but I had no time to do anything but rush inside the Memorial Building to finish setting up. Sunday was dry, clear and cold too, so I went... »
The Sweet Shoppe
This is another Central City Painting. I started it this summer at the Artisan Village at the Oregon State Fair. But I felt it lacked something and set it aside. Yesterday when looking for something to paint at the gallery I picked it up again. What got me started on the painting in the first... »
Victorian Deadwood
This is another painting from the cemetery above Central City, Colorado. Most of the graves there date from the Victorian era. This is typical of the monuments. They were cast concrete rather than stone and carved to look like wood and stone. The “wood” portions sometimes look like rustic logs and sometimes more like... »
It’s Greener on the Other Side of the Porch
Built in 1894, The Deepwood Estate is a lovely example of Queen Anne architecture. But to my mind, the gardens are even better. There are four acres of these and they get better every year. The indoor and outdoor Deepwood Estate meet on the front porch. Steps from the porch lead to both the... »
