"Laniakea Views"

8x10 Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

10/16/12:  I finished this piece for an online workshop.  It was great to paint another beach scene.  The brilliant blues and greens of the water remind me of the Laguna Beach, California area. 

Fresh Views

I had a fun time playing around with a picture from just west of Gunnison, CO.  The background view is the same, but I added some pines and brush to the foreground to help the composition. This is the third in the series of paintings from Dad's trip.  The West is truly amazing!

This is from memories of the red soils and pines of Bastrop, TX and my memories of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC.  I hope a place like this exists!

Austin Currents

11 x 14 " Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

Last Thurday my friend and I went to Austin to paint a scene around the Longhorn dam with the Austin Plein Air painters group. Downstream of the dam is a serene, calm place with limestone rocks and plenty of wildlife to enjoy. If you follow the river's edge on the side by the softball fields, you'll find this scene under the shade of large Cottonwoods and Sycamores.

The Old Blue Well Pump

8x10" Acrylic on canvas panel

(SOLD)

This is an old cast iron well pump propped up on an wood box at Grace Ranch.  It still has remnants of blue paint from it's past life and captures the character of ranch life well.
