Quaker Oats Dude ! Large Canvas

For the last few months I have been working like a dog to try to get a large body of work that would represent me in an exhibition in November at the Elliott Fouts Gallery.

I have been able to post a few paintings on ebay but because my effort has been on the show I have not sold many paintings on ebay. I intend to do some smaller pieces this month.

In my latest venture, this large canvas of an old Quaker Oats Can with a vintage scooper (found in an antique store) was the largest painting I have ever painted (30" x 40"). It was a challenge. I really enjoyed painting this and hope to do another large piece later this Spring. The Quaker Oats dude is a figure that goes back many years. My wife's grandmother lived to 103 and ate oatmeal for her entire life. Oatmeal in my house hold as a child was very popular with my Dad - I wasn't crazy about it but I still ate it (I added lots of sugar!).

The painting took many days to paint because of the extensive amount of layers and drying time needed. The enormous size is very different when viewed in person. The face is huge and really interesting to few in person because of the technique used. The other challenge was photographing this painting. I was unable to get the angles right. It was tough. Hope you enjoy it.

Tastee Freez!

Its that time of year when the weather finally warms up and its time for ice cream. I love going to the local Tastee Freez or Dairy Queen as a kid. I still love to go. This painting is a study of a larger piece that I am thinking about painting.

Sugar Smack it! Exhibition Series

This painting is another painting that will be included at the Elliott Fouts Gallery. The exhibition date has been scheduled for mid November of this year. I have a ton of work ahead me. I intend to paint some really large paintings for the show. I will be exhibiting with a Gallery artist Tim White.

When I found this cereal box I knew that I had to paint it. You don't find cereal boxes like this anymore. So unique! I can't tell you how fun and strange it was to paint to this painting. That clown is to die for! The lettering and layers in this rather large piece was a challenge in patience.

Retro Coke Bottle-Exhibition Series


This painting is number 7 in my series for the Elliott Fouts Gallery. My wife and I found some wonderful retro pop bottles at an antique store which stirred up some nostalgic memories. Imn addition, I found an old 7-up bottle which I will do next as its partner. This oil painting is large - at least for me - 16" x 20". This painting will be exhibited in an upcoming exhibition this year.
