Painting I finished these two oil paintings, to be held in reserve for when the Mural Gallery in Exeter needs to be resupplied with citrus paintings. Mineral King The Mineral King road and recreation restrictions were scheduled to be lifted on Saturday, September 21. By now people who need to know will know for sure […]
Orange Paintings Sell Better Than Pomegranate Paintings
Since Exeter’s Mural Gallery (121 South E Street) is reopening (TODAY!), I have a renewed interest in painting oranges. The painting on the left is untitled, so for now I will call it The Painting Formerly Known As Turning Leaf. (I thought that Turning Leaf was a good painting, but apparently I was alone in […]
Two Outings
In 2023, I participated in exactly one art boutique/fair/bazaar. ONE. It was in Exeter on a Saturday at the history museum/art gallery, CACHE. This was the inaugural event, the reviews are mixed, and I am guessing it won’t become an annual event. However, I had a good day! One painting sold (Citrus Row) and many […]
Orange Oil Paintings, WHAT SHALL WE CALL THEM?

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

All these orange oil paintings are for sale at the Mural Gallery in Exeter, whose address might be 121 South E Street, and hours might begin at 11 a.m. but not on Tuesday, possibly not on Wednesday. […]

Orange Oil Paintings, A Progression
There are a lot of orange paintings to get done, dried, scanned, and distributed to two different places. Let’s go! Four down, two to go. Altogether now, “These will look better after they are dry and always look better in person”.
Three Pears and Two Orange Groves
Squeezing in Oranges
Disproportionately Influenced by California Citrus
In conclusion, this is a California artist, disproportionately influenced (inspired, perhaps?) by citrus. Today I am probably out in an orange grove with my cousins, looking for Washington navels that may still be hanging in the center of the trees. Or perhaps we are inhaling the remaining scent of orange blossoms.
