Upper Level Management

"Upper Level Management" 6x6" Oil on gessoboard
Looks like more layoffs may be coming down in the corporate world. Money is tight and jobs hard to come by. This high-ranking corporate official has some tough decisions to make in order to trim excess overhead. "Aha! Diversification would offer me the option to restructure, filling newly-created positions from within." He has asked for volunteers, hoping several of his long-time employees might be willing to transfer into the highly-speculative Cobbler Department...Someone just has to step up to the plate.

Thanks for viewing my painting!

Launch of the Boating Party

"Launch of the Boating Party" 6x6" oil on gessoboard
An island in the sun, boats gather around this tropical resort casting sultry reflections that swirl a top foamy waters. This reminds me of all those exotic destinations where cruise ships, like flocks of graceful geese, silently maneuver their way into bustling tourist ports. I guess this is as close as I'll get to a vacation this summer but my mind is frolicking in the spray of ocean mist. Bon voyage!

I am trying out a smooth gesso surface with this painting and enjoyed not having to fight the rough waves of stiff canvas.

"Peaches and Cream" 6x6"

"Peaches and Cream" 6x6" oil on canvas panel
Click to Purchase

Somehow watching my daughter try on long flowing, creamy-white satin wedding dresses all day Saturday, reminded me of this painting I had left unfinished. Do you recognize the models? This still life is actually the tragic demise of last week's "Peachy Keen" peaches, along with the discarded pit. It was a challenge being my first attempt at half submerged fruit. I was afraid it wasn't going to make it down the aisle into prime time but with few tucks here and there...I do think it now fits.

Peachy Keen 6x6"

Water, water everywhere except here! The month of May has come to a screeching halt, and dried up our last hope for rain. With only a half inch of rain since January, this is not a good sign, as the long hot dog-days-of-summer have again bullied and shoved their way back into the thirsty pine forests of east Texas.

However on the bright side, along with the over-bearing scorch of summer also comes the gift of fresh peaches, melons, corn and tomatoes that occassionaly contain hints of the flavors we knew and loved as kids. I found these three ripe, sunburned beauties curled up in my bowl resting in the shade. The luscious trio graciously agreed to pose for my quick study. Once I had brushed on the last touch of blush to their fuzzy cheeks, they made a beeline for the cool recesses of the fridge, where they will chill before being sliced and dipped into a bath of rich cream awaiting their final debut. I hope they taste as good as they look.
