Jay Walking


6 x 20 acrylic $175.00
Have been busy in the yard since it has gotten warmer and all my plants have been put outside and re- potted. The mulberry tree has been attracting birds and I have been sitting out there with my camera. This is one of a blue jay I got a picture of. They like to come down and get the cat food and get pretty close to me. I hope to start working back with my watercolors.
We had out spring show at the Vicksburg Art Association this last week and congratulation to my bud Lisa King Floore she did very well this time around. Please visit her site to see some of her work.
Wrll the computer is acting up again and will have to load the picture later.

Summer Tree



16x20 acrylic


I tried to be a little looser with this one. One thing I noticed with the last painting if I use a lot of glaze medium the picture I photograph looks just terrible so I have to blur it a little to knock down some of the glare. This is something I will have to work on for future paintings.

Good Day for a Ride


11 x14 acrylic
I have been away it seems a like a long time. The computer is still acting up and we think the vidio card may be going bad. So I have to hurry and get this up while it is working LOL.
I tried my hand at putting and animal and a human in a painting. The animals do not scare me it is people I am just never happy on how they come out. I know I should not get frustrated but when you have an image in your mind and can't get it to come out on canvas or paper can be soooo frustrating.
