" Happy Mothers Day "
Asked my wife what she thought of the painting and what to call it. We both know its a Camilla flower.However we weren't sure how to spell it. She said it would be a great gift for someone on mothers day thus the name. I hope everyone has a great week and a awesome mothers day this year. Remember they will not be with us forever.

" GARDEN GATE CAFE "
This Cafe was covered with these beautiful red flowers and amazing entry. This could not be passed up very inviting. May even be better with a open gate to invite their quests. Want to visit be my quest and Enjoy the view.

" AIR SHOW LANDING "
We recently had a Air Show at the small Airport in town. A lot of military planes all shapes and sizes . You will see more in the future however this is the one that caught my eye because of the reflections of the ground and sky. Must say never painted an Airplane however they are a great combination of design and craftsmanship. What a pleasure and challenge hope you like it :0).

" RUST BUCKET "
SOLD
I'm loving my new pallet of colors. Having fun exploring the possibilities and color combinations. This 11 x 14 size seems to be a better fit for my type of painting style. What do you think about this size canvas. I think this is a 40's Chevy flat bed work truck. It was berried up to axles and was left behind a back side of a field. What caught my eye was all the rust and the primed black door.

" THE LAST SNOW "
SOLD
It makes me cold just looking at it . Here it is what I'm calling the last snow. Now there is defiantly and warm and cold effect going on in this painting and I think the cold is winning. Lucky for us we don't see much show in East Texas. However we sure did get some in the north west this year.

" SHE IS GRAND "

SOLD
Was very inspired by a fellow artist with the use of bold yet subtle color combinations . The idea of just pushing and add colors not only by value but by color contrast of both Hot and Cool. The fact this is also a bit larger canvas board 11 X 14 . This gave me the room to play. Love the reflections in lights and glitter in this one. Curious to hear what you are thinking.Have a great cruse Enjoy.

" CHANGE OF SEASON "
When winter first hits the trees you see remnants of the green from summer and the effect of the cold browning the leaves. They eventually will change completely and fall away. Love the reflection of the trees and the detail of the broken land in the foreground.

Its been a month of reflection and the possibilities of the direction of my art. Hope you enjoy this new journey. Please let me know what you enjoy about this one.

" HIGH SKY "'
SOLD
Could not resist painting this photo taken from a plane shot. Where and when goes the sky end and the earth begin. Color reflection atmosphere what else could you ask for. Again the photo shows the painting texture, glare and distortion. The painting is 10 x better than the photo. As always enjoy life you will never have this day again to do that.

" Ocean Sunrise "
SOLD
When it comes to sunrises and oceans I will be the one giving it a go. The sun has a way to heat the soul and cause you to pause and ponder. This is one of my favorite paintings in a long time. Notice how the sun heated the sand even in the shadow. This sure would make a great 30 X 40 painting however this is a 7 X 9. Meet you at the surf this new year enjoy and be safe.

Sunset Glow
SOLD
Don't you Think that sunrises / sunsets are the best expression of something bigger than yourself that how I feel when I see one and paint one. Captured this one after a long hard day what a gem. Always have fun trying to capture the glow touching the edge of the earth and trees. Have a great day and keep a lookout for those sunsets.
