The domestic bird paintings are all 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas as usual, $60 plus tax as usual (unless you live outside California, in which case you can skip the 8% sales tax). The wild birds are on 4×6″ wrapped canvas, oil as usual, $50 plus tax (unless you live in another state.)
Finished Mineral King Oil Paintings
These are the oil paintings that were dry enough to scan so I can list them on my website. This size doesn’t normally sell through the website but does sell very well in Mineral King in the summer, and I am now ready. Maybe. They never scan as bright or colorful or pretty as they […]
More Mineral King Painting Factory 5
At the end of last week, I had 4 more finished Mineral King oil paintings, a 6×18″ was sold, and the 2 paintings on hold were still just waiting their turns. Now it is time to count up again, evaluate by subject and size, and decide if I need to keep the factory producing more […]
More Mineral King Painting Factory 4
Week One of Operation Mineral King Painting Factory felt successful. 7 of the 11 paintings are completed (except for drying, scanning and varnishing), and it seems possible to complete the remaining 4 (3 are large-ish) and maybe even make tracks on the other 2 on stand-by, all next week.

Back to the easels. . . thanks for stopping by this week! P.S. Last year at this time I was repainting the Mineral King […]
Three California Poppy Oil Paintings
It has been ten years since we had that spectacular poppy season in Three Rivers. I still find them when I walk and in in my yard, but never since have we had them in such abundance. While I was conducting the private oil painting workshop, I painted two poppy paintings. It is good to […]
The More I Paint. . .
. . . the more paintings sell. One Sawtooth, one Honeymoon Cabin, one White Chief, three of the most popular scene of Farewell Gap with the Crowley cabin, and one of just Farewell Gap minus the Crowley cabin. 6×6″ is the most popular size. Keep painting, Central California Artist Who Specializes in Mineral King.
The Barn Drawing
Remember the pencil commission of the Michigan barn, drawn from some barely adequate photos? I think the grass and sky took as long as the barn itself. When I finally finished, I scanned it to email to the customer for approval. He saw right away that the 2 tall doors were lighter than the others. […]
