Now let’s look at the pieces that have sold in the last several months, at Kaweah Arts, Stem & Stone, Exeter’s Mural Gallery, the Silver City Store, and through my website and people I know. Three disclaimers: Thank you for sharing in my happiness, and remember: USING PENCILS, OIL PAINT, AND MURALS, I MAKE ART […]
Begun, Finished, Improved
Begun These oil paintings have their first layer down. Finished These paintings are dry, scanned, and delivered to their stores. (And in the category of Wishful Thinking, perhaps they are sold.) Improved These paintings have some minor items added to make them a smidge better.
A Mess of Deer and Three Paintings
Trail Guy and I took a walk. As we were approaching home, this is what we saw. After this excitement (plus the usual mess of turkeys in the yard), I went into the workshop to work on three paintings. One needed finishing, one needed more detail, and one needed the first layer.

This means they are opposite one another on the color wheel—”complementary”, not “complimentary” such as “Oh […]
Four Finished Fruits

[…]
Not Enough Oranges
There is a marketing outfit for citrus, at least I think it is for marketing purposes. They have bought many pieces of orange-themed art from me through the years and are a pleasure to deal with. Their annual banquet is coming up, and someone in the office asked me to lend them orange-themed art to […]
