Double Trouble


"Double Trouble" 8x6" Oil on canvas panel

Click to Bid

Snips, snails and puppy dog tails...that's what little boys are made of.

Meet Oren and Andrew, two of my nephews when they were much younger. I snapped this photo of them as they stood on the rocky banks of Emerald Lake in Montana, one summer long ago. They must have taken a break from hooking slimy worms to devise a plan to overthrow and regain control of the raft containing all the little girl cousins who outnumbered them three to one. Or, perhaps they were searching for turtles, frogs, or big sticks to fend off Nettie, or some other lake monster who could suddenly emerge to devour them whole. Who knows what lurks about in the minds of little boys?

Thanks for viewing my painting!

Take It All Off


"Take It All Off" 8x6" Oil on Canvas Board Click to Bid Talk about brazen behavior! Can you believe this outrageous redhead caught in a quiet neighborhood of Concord in decadent flamboyance? That's right! Baring herself in a showy burlesque, she literally flaunted herself at the curb attracting the attention of every passerby. Despite the chilling rain, she exposed one long slender limb after another in an ostentatious display. A shocking performance!

"Splendor in the Glass"


"Splendor in the Glass" 6x6" Oil on Canvas Panel Click to Purchase

What a bully! Momma mango roller is at it again, crushing down the last green tree in the neighborhood to make room for yet another highway headed somewhere. Progress they call it! What a shame, and just as this comfortable citrus couple, lime and orange, were settling down to enjoy a quiet picnic under the cool shade of the canopy.

My seven-year-old grandson and I had a great time painting from this still life we set up yesterday. While in a panic to prevent an obvious tragedy, I tensed up and painted a bit tighter than I like. To me, less is always more...the fewer brush strokes the better. I guess I just got carried away trying to rescue these near-casualty victims from ultimate destruction. Whew, that was a close call!

Cana Can-Can 8x6"

"Cana Can-Can" 8x6" Oil on canvas

Click Here to Purchase

Miracle of miracles! Despite "exceptional" drought conditions, wild fires and record breaking heat all across Texas, imagine my surprise stumbling upon this thirsty can-can girl hanging on for dear life, like an Israelite lost in the desert of my scorched garden. From the time we moved into this house, some 20 years ago, I have had 5 ft. canas blooming from April through September expect for this year. With little-to-no rain all year, most everything is now shriveled and parched.

I felt like a merciless butcher chopping off this young ladies long slender neck and beautiful red mane for my still life. Buckwheat is now dead...but no longer thirsty! LOL Looks like I'll have to start buying flowers to paint this summer.
