Glass with Strawberries and Grapes II

This painting was completed at the same time that that my other glass painting (prior posting) was completed. This painting is painted on panel as well.

This painting is 12" x 12".

Glass with Strawberries and Grapes I

This is my fifth painting on panel (masonite). I really enjoy the amount of detail you can paint with on masonite. It has been fun but challenging. If it wasn't for M. Collier and Jelaine Faunce, I would still be cussing my way through the painting process. M Collier gave me some great advice on how to prepare the surface and Jelaine gave me some tips on where to get prepared panels (M also provided some locations as well).

I have another still life that is almost ready. I sort of started two paintings at the same time. This way I can leave one panel dry while working on the other.

Space Man without a Home

I recently was commissioned to paint several toy paintings for a client. After completing the paintings I was told there were some personal issues with the client that prevented her from paying me. I rarely do many commission work and when I do I always go into it with a bit of caution.

Whatever the case, this painting and two others are now without a home. They are sort of left out in space....

Happy Easter everyone.

Cookie Cutter Still Life

I am so fortunate that I am married to someone who loves to cook and bake! Not only do I eat pretty good, I get to paint so really cool stuff.
This past summer we collected some really neat things from antique sales, garage sales, estate sales and from auctions. One of the items collected was a set of vintage cookie cutter sets. I incorporated some of these unique cutters into my still life (coming soon), but in this still life I added the box as part of the still life. This painting is 7" x 9" oil on wood.

Two Pears on a Scale

My wife found this scale at a garage sale last year. The lady had several very interesting and old food scales that we purchased for some of my still life paintings. However, my wife likes it so much that she is using it in her kitchen. For once she is taking one of my props instead of me taking all her kitchen tools and losing it in my collection of objects.

This painting is 7" x 7" oil on wood and is in progress. I am experimenting with these still life's in different settings.

Faygo Crate and Tomatoes

If you happen to be around Sacramento California on February 13th please stop by for my opening with David Lobenberg at the Elliott Fouts Gallery. I have over 20 paintings never seen before on display including this lantern painting. I am hoping to make the trip but I am not sure if I can pull it off. Below are the details. If you need a sneak preview please contact Elliott Fouts at efgallery@sbcglobal.net.

This past summer my wife and I went to an estate sale near our home town. My wife discovered an old crate of Faygo pop in the basement. It was covered with dirt and spider webs. We offered the owner a price and they took it. I thought it would make for an interesting still life with our tomatoes from our garden.

SOLD

I have a couple more interesting old crates that I am working on and hope to crank out a few more within the next few weeks.
