First Snow Acrylic 7 x 5

SOLD

Snow can make the most interesting shapes in the landscape. For example, the old truck in this painting. One knows its a truck but the snow can't blanket and take away all its character. When it's the first snow and many of the leaves are still clinging to the trees the remaining spectacular color shows up so nicely with a white background. All great subjects for a image hungry artist!

I Have been tagged by a couple of my fellow daily painters, Mark Adams and Mike Rooney. I have been amiss and not playing the game as quickly as I would like. I have been busily painting for my one man show in Scottsdale Arizona at the Bonner David Galleries which opens on December 18, 2008. Mark and Mike, I admire both of you as artists and the dedication you have to the daily painting movement. So thank you for the tagging and here's to getting to know more about all of my fellow painters !

1. I am a licensed Landscape Architect in the state of Colorado.

2. My middle name is Kerry which only my family uses. My mother was watching a Cary Grant movie the night I was born. Still haven't figured out why she chose this particular spelling though.

3. I graduated from the Culinary Institute in Denver with a specialty in Bakery. I particularly enjoyed the whole process of decorating cakes.

4. I have a bad boy side who secretly enjoys wearing leather and smoking an occasional cigar.

5. My favorite movie/series is "Ann of Green Gables".

6. My favorite book is the Chronicles of Narnia.

7. If I couldn't be an Artist, and I could magically become something else it would be a famous Singer because I have absolutely no musical talent but very much enjoy and respect those who do.

This little lady was playing next to a big fountain in the town square of Portland Oregon. She was so in the moment and completely focused on having a good time that I had to take her picture. I have always wanted to paint her ever since I took her picture and as it turned out I had as much fun painting as she was playing. I guess it was her way of paying it forward. Thanks little lady.

I now know why he chose Saint Remy for his residence, it's absolutely enchanting. Thanks Jim for a truly life changing adventure! Oh, and Jim you're in this painting.

Poncho Acrylic 7 x 5

SOLD

I had such fun today with this one. Some days painting just flows. I will set it up and start the painting then before I know it I have a good piece. I can be thinking of something totally off the subject of my work and it doesn't seem to affect the out come. Painting doesn't always flow like that but when it does, it's magic!

Movement Acrylic 7 x 5
