Outlook 5x8 Watercolor



SOLD

I like the mood of this painting. A young girl looking out on the waters of the Mississippi River lost in thought over who knows what? Her current situation? Her future? A crisis in her life? I often think when I look at people about what expereinces they have had in their lives that have shaped them, and continue to shape them, into who they are. People are endlessly fascinating to me.

Shading The Sun 9x12 Acrylic

Up On A Pedestal 8x10 Acrylic


No post yesterday, I had a migraine. Dang! I always say, it's not a real headache if you can still stand up. It's like my drinking days (more than 30 years ago), if you could lay on the floor without having to hold on, you weren't really drunk. I definitely don't recommend drinking, (that's why I haven't done it in 30 years). And I don't recommend migraines either. They make you feel like you've just been on a 3 day bender and you didn't even get to get liquored up. The best thing about migraines is they feel so good when their gone.

Garden Circle 10x14 Acrylic

Sold

This was a kind of stream of conscienceness painting done in a garden. When I finished, I realized the flowers formed a ring.

Walk The Dog 5x8.5 Acrylic


This is on a bike path along the Mississippi River. It seems a lot of my work is somehow tied to this River.

River Walkers 11x14 Acrylic


Sold

These ladies were walking in a park along the banks of the Mississippi River. In summer, there are always music festivals and goings-on. It's good to be in the right place at the right time.

Pictures At An Exhibition 5x7 Acrylic


$60.00+shipping


I love to paint people going about their lives. I always carry a camera. I take pictures first and ask permission later. If you ask first, people become self-conscience and act like they are posing. It never works. Available in my etsy store. Just click on My ETSY Store on right.
