Painting and a sketch

This painting is from a photo I took two Christmases ago at Callaway Gardens in Georgia. There was the most beautiful and vibrant sunset I remember seeing in years. I took a bunch of photos and did this painting from those. There is no way to adequately recreate those incredible colors!

I occasionally participate in various challenges on wetcanvas.com, an online artist community. A couple of months ago, one of the weekend challenges included this rooster from Monet's Garden. I couldn't resist sketching this beautiful chicken! He looked so peaceful.

Paintings from 12x12 show in February

In January I painted four 12"x12" paintings for a show at the Catawampus Gallery in Opelika. The owner decided to have 12x12 as the theme, and all artists were to submit works in that size. I enjoyed the challenge, because that's not a format I usually paint in.

I sold one of them a couple of weeks ago, but these are the other three. They are each framed in black frames. They were fun!

Welcome to my new online art gallery!

For a while I've been exploring the idea of having a blog specifically to display and sell my artwork. I've been an artist for over 20 years, and have work in private collections in England, Europe and North America.

All artwork on this blog will be signed originals unless otherwise noted. Prices will vary according to medium, size and whether the piece is matted and framed or not.
