Model T Roadster Runabout

My boys and I took a side trip a few years ago to see the Dixie Gun Works in Union City, Tennessee. This is a museum full of old guns and other artifacts…and a separate large warehouse room full of antique beautifully restored cars.

I took some photos while I was there and found this old Model T. I looked it up and it is called a Roadster Runabout.

Gray Day at Reelfoot

Reelfoot Lake is a natural lake in northwest Tennessee. It was formed in the 1811 earthquake. 

My dad used to take my brother and me fishing up there. We would catch a lot of big round bream and a few bass. A few years ago, I took my boys up there and we took a walk and took some photos. Those are cypress trees and cypress "knees" sticking out of the water.

Paintings on eBay

Lady on a horse

Here is the first lady on a horse I have ever painted…if I remember correctly. Anyway, I was looking through some photo reference I had taken a couple of summers ago. This was at a small town 4th of July parade. I eliminated all of the distracting background elements and concentrated on finding the colors and shapes to help highlight this subject.

Early for Easter...

Here is the first rabbit I have ever painted. I started on a cherry red acrylic background and painted oils on top of that. I like how it turned out. I found reference for this on paintmyphoto.com.

New Home Portrait Website

I am trying to get more organized with commissioned home portraits. I have done these over the years through word-of-mouth, but hopefully this will help get things going.

Here is the new website:
