Joe in Paris 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape of Paris France

$100.00 $10.00 S/H

I don't usually know the people that are in my urban paintings but this time my good friend Joe was contemplating getting a cup of American coffee in this little cafe. I can still remember him saying that all he was craving from America was a big cup of coffee with cream. We went inside the cafe and were treated to a wonderful late but alas we would have to wait until we got home for that large cup of Joe.

In Good Company Acrylic 7 x 5 Winter Urban Landscape Original Painting

SOLD

Nothing like a cold blustery day in the city. I have implimented my palette knife once again on this piece and used subtle values to create atmosphere with the paint. With a chill in the morning air I know that my subject matter is going to be more like this piece in the near future.

Late Day Market 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape of Southern France

SOLD

I was in the South of France just about dusk. There was a street market taking place where the light was filtering through the narrow streets creating a warm back light for the pedestrians shopping at the market. The allure of an open air market excites me to paint every time I experience one.

Stopping for Lunch Acrylic 10 x 8 Paris Urban Street Scape

SOLD

This is another painting in my pallet knife series. It's a bit larger than my normal daily painting sizes but thought I would shake it up a bit. These ladies were walking in the rain in Paris looking for a restaurant to eat lunch. I watched as they read menus and finally picked a little coffee shop to continue their conversations.

Illumination 7 x 5 Acrylic Winter Urban Landscape

SOLD



There was a chill in the air this morning that made me think of fall and even the blanket of snow that follows it. When I went to choose what to paint this morning this scene reflected that mood.

Misty Way 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Rain Scene

SOLD

I have been working in pallet knife for the last few weeks in my larger pieces but haven't tried the technique in my small daily's. It's a challenge to work that small with a knife but I think my attempt was very successful. I will do more and hope you like them.

An Early Start 5 x 7 Acrylic Sun Rise Painting

$100.00 + $10.00 S/H


I wake every morning to a sunrise just outside my bedroom window. As I sit in bed sipping my hot aromatic cup of coffee I just admire how each day they differ in intensity and volume but are always beautiful. All to soon my coffee cup dwindles as fast as the sunrise slips into a healthy morning sky but catching their essence in a painting is deceptively easy. I usually paint from my photographs but this daily painting was strictly from memory and beautiful memory.

This painting is of a street in Caan France. I had stopped to take a break from picture taking to have a glass of wine and a bite of cheese.

Early Delivery 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Paris Landscape Painting

SOLD

I'm typically a early bird and in Paris I was true to form. I happened to get some of my best photographs then and the light was fantastic. There was humidity in the air so the light was a bit hazy which gave this scene a wonderful glow. The shapes of the delivery trucks are so different than here in the states. All of these are just observations but none the less bits of information that makes an adventure just that an ADVENTURE!

In the City of Paris 5 x 7 Acrylic Paris Urban Landscape

No matter what I paint from my trip to Paris it brings such awesome memories. I was just getting a cappuccino when it started to rain. In my world that is perfection! I finished the day sipping my coffee and taking wonderful rain scene pictures. A journal entry day for sure.

Remnants of Times Past 6 x 6 Arylic Antique Car Painting

SOLD

When I started painting urban landscapes I never liked painting the automobiles in the compositions. But, they are everywhere in the urban landscape so I have come to enjoy the character they can bring to a piece as well as making them the focus of a painting. I don't know my antique cars and trucks but this image was sent to me from Rich and Katrina in Lubbock Texas and they might know the make of the truck. All I know is this specimen made a wonderful subject for a painting. Thanks Rich and Katrina!

Twilight is my favorite time of day and catching the mood the light creates while looking out over the bay at Provincetown was spectacular.

I think for a few days I am going to paint some scenes from a trip I took to Cape Cod. The town I stayed in was called Provincetown and is located on the very tip of the Cape. The town is very quaint and full of art galleries. I had so much fun just walking around enjoying the easy going nature of this artistic sea shore community. This painting was of the town just before night fall after a heavy warm rain. Everything smelled so fresh.

The drizzle started to become more of a steady rain on this day in Paris. All the sudden everybody was in a big hurry to get home and out of the weather. I on the other hand was perfectly happy to stay out in the rain and photograph. I captured wonderful scenes to paint that day.

On The Way Home Acrylic Paris Urban Landscape

SOLD



I was on my way back to my Hotel in this little town in the south of France when I saw this lady walking home as well. She was reading a book and walking at the same time. The bag she was carrying had a loaf of bread and fresh fruit in it. She must of come from the same market as I had just visited. I love the relaxed pace of life in the south of France.

Iris and Buttercup Acrylic Impressionistic Floral Landscape

SOLD

I enjoy finding urban gardens that tend to be a bit over grown and less formally cultivated. These Iris were growing amongst buttercups,daisies and tall grasses. A perfect scenario for a painting!

I found this scene on my way to Steamboat Colorado. There was a wonderful little cottage just off the highway which had a beautiful pond in the back yard.

I have a passion for Koi and Koi ponds. So, when I come across a good one and can get good photographs of the fish I'm in seventh heaven. The fish are so colorful and the Lilly's lend nice shapes to the composition. This pond was at a Church in my neighborhood.

Remy 9 x 12 Acrylic Pet Portrait

SOLD

I've had the good fortune of painting a pet portrait of Remy. She is a West Highland Terrier owned by Geoff and Jane Hatch. We started the commission with a wonderful day taking her photographs last fall and tragically that same night she was attacked by a coyote. Remy sustained some bad wounds from the attack but lived to see many happy Colorado days with her owners. Consequently, her portrait was a pleasure to do for Geoff and Jane. They were pleased with the results and have Remy safe at home sitting under her portrait. Thanks, Geoff and Jane!

Sunflower Vista Acrylic 5 x 7 Impressionistic Southern Colorado Landscape

SOLD

Colorado has such beautiful scenery. I was on my way to my parents house in Durango Colorado when I stopped to take some pictures. When the clouds shade the mountains and the foreground is in the sun light magical things happen. The mountains turn such a vibrant colbalt blue they look like jewels in the landscape. The color of the mountains compliment the spectacular yellow of the sunflowers. Perfect symmetry!

Unexpected Snow Acrylic 5 x 7 Impressionistic Urban Landscape

SOLD

An unexpected spring snow storm caught this bicyclist off guard. He was maneuvering pretty well in the slush on the streets. I thought if he can ride in it, I can paint a painting of it to document his plight.

Botswana on Fire Acrylic 40 x 30 Impressionistic Landscape of Africa

This is another scene from Africa which I was allowed to use from my friend and Client Doug. The way the sun was hitting this field of grasses was spectacular. I just had to paint it. I really had fun using the pallet knife in the grass to give it a more abstract quality. Thanks again Doug!
