Green Onions

This was painted using my left hand. It was an exercise to access the right side of the brain. I am right handed, so it was difficult.

2010 Paramount Art Show


I entered the Paramount Traditional Artists Guild Show again this year. The judge for the show was Michael Humphries. He also did a demo, which was great! I would love to see him paint again. What a treat. He awarded me with second place for my Garlic, and Honorable Mention for my Pomegranate. Thank You.

Palmer

Palmer is a rare Black Palm Cockatoo owned by a friend of mine. What a beautiful bird. It looks as though he is saying "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"

Orchids

This was an image that my nephew wanted me to paint for his girlfriend for a Christmas present. She had taken the original photo, which later was published. I hope she liked it.

This little flower was growing outside my bedroom window in the neighbors yard. Our neighbor has had their house under construction for 3 years now. No one there. This poor flower has grown despite the neglect. It was the one and only flower in the yard. The weeds are doing fine!

"For You" Close-up


For You


Peppermill

This was hard to get the correct color of the painting in the photograph. Dark colors don't photograph well. Probably because I don't know what I am doing. It is still not correct, but is as close as I can get. This subject was just an experiment. I wanted to see if I could get the look of the clear plexiglass. My challenge was getting the proportions to be even on each side and not look crooked.

Moons & Stars


I found this plant on a recent walk. It struck me as strange because of the orange orbs and the purple flowers.
