Kaweah Post Office Oil Paintings 2

Thank you for returning to see the next set of seven Kaweah Post Office oil paintings. Shall we commence our tour of the growth of my painting skills through the capitalistic exploitation of an innocent elderly landmark? (That would have cracked my Dad up – is anyone else out there laughing along?)

Kaweah Post Office VIII. Obviously, the little post office was popular in 2012. This one was bought by a celebrity who occasionally comes to Three Rivers. That isn’t as a big of a deal to me as the fact that a stranger bought my work!
Kaweah Post Office IX was painted in 2013.
Kaweah Post Office X was painted in 2014. It might have been the first one sold to raise money for the new roof. I think it is wrong to see this much sky behind it, because there is a steep hill back there.
Kaweah Post Office XI is my favorite so far. This was done in 2015, specifically to help with the new roof. Another lying sky.
Kaweah Post Office XII was also painted in 2015, also painted for the roof repair. But shouldn’t there be a little sky showing off to the side? This is another thing I forgot to check when I was there in person. Frankly, I don’t think anyone else cares!
This one is simply titled Kaweah Post Office. I lost the sequential numbering momentum, so that means that #13 is actually #14. Does anyone care? Too bad I didn’t skip #13, like ships and some apartment buildings do. And yet another lying sky. . .
Kaweah Post Office XIII was also painted in 2015. It is currently available at Anne Lang’s Emporium in Three Rivers or from my website. 8×10″, oil on wrapped canvas, $125 plus tax (unless you buy it from my website which STILL is unable to charge sales tax for some irritating and unknown reason).

And thus we conclude our tour of my endless depictions of the Kaweah Post Office, popular landmark in Three Rivers, but not where I get my mail, in case you were wondering.

  1. I’ll pass on XIII. No fence in the back, and I agree, the roof line looks like it’s askew.

    I’ll take a reprint of IX if you’re willing. And maybe adjust the doorway so it doesn’t look like the inside is on fire?

    Don’t you love people who tell you how to paint?

    [[hugs]]

    • Sharon, Nikki used to take drawing lessons from me and I listen to her when she notices something is wonky, She is right – I wonder if that’s why XIII is still at Anne Lang’s.

      And I don’t mind being told how to paint by people who have their checkbooks at the ready! (hugs back at you!) I’ll go prime an 8×10 canvas next to paint Kaweah Post Office IXV.

  2. I’ve decided that I should vote for my favorite. Therefore, you need to know that I vote for#8. (That’s VIII to you.) There is something odd about the roof of #13. Rework?

    • Nikki, thanks for the vote – someone else voted for IX (#9 to you). Thanks for the warning about #13. I’ll contemplate it, and if it appears fixable, I’ll retrieve it from Anne (unless someone wants to buy it and doesn’t notice!)

  3. So, a celebrity bought your “Kaweah Ost Office” painting–cool!

    The sky is not lying. It’s called “artistic license!”

    My favorite is IX, lying sky and all! Is it still available?

    And isn’t this Post Office closer to your home than the main 3R one?

    That’s all for today!

    • Hi Sharon,
      Celebrities are overrated.
      And the artistic license was because I either couldn’t see or didn’t have the skill.
      IX is gone because I only have one at a time, but I can repaint it for you.
      This PO is the same distance as the main one.
      I love your orderly comments!

      • 1. I agree. But don’t ask them, they’ll deny it.

        2. But your license created something very pretty!

        3. Or, you could tell me which of the PO paintings are still available.

        4. And since you have other business at or near the 3R PO that makes sense.

        5. Thank you. I like lists. Most orderly people do!

        • Sharon,
          1. yup
          2. thanks!
          3. only the last one in the post is available -XIII, with all the info beneath it.
          4. yup
          5. Amen, Sister Orderly!
