Floral Study







I belong to an Artists Co Op Gallery in Fairhope, Al. The town is well known for it's artist's community. I have been mostly selling my art down at the beach.
The artistic tastes in Fairhope are much more eclectic. This is a great place to learn.
I work in the co-op gallery every other Friday. There are so many excellent, polished artists in this co-op I still can't believe I am really among them.
I am working on a few different things lately other than beachy, you know so much to do and so little time, it is frustrating. Here's an UNFINISHED piece that is really a surprise for me....it's not half bad. Fast sketch and loose painting.
I would really love to paint all day every day but gotta pay the light bill for now with my day job.
I will post the finished piece when it's done.

worked on this a little more...I think it's finished....

I worked on this flora yesterday. I'm really liking the florals.

Abstract





I'm very interested in doing some abstract art...the sky's the limit there. I'm working on a few ideas and this is one I tried and I like it. Don't ask me how it happened. It just did.
Any ideas for a name? I have a few choices but what do you think?

Beach House


I was asked to do a painting for some folks who live close to Nashville Tn.
They wanted a beach with a little cottage and they wanted it on OSB Board for the texture. The size is 24X36". They are in the process of picking the one which will work best with their decor.
