Youth Symphony

I painted this a long time ago. It was a cover illustration for a magazine featuring the Memphis Youth Symphony. They supplied me with several photos of past concerts and I put them together in this arrangement. This is the original illustration.

Gourds and stuff

These are a selection of decorative gourds used as table adornments during our family reunion/Thanksgiving meal. The day after, I took them out for a photoshoot and arranged them in various ways.​

Barn with Truck and Trees

I did this one with a free splashy technique. I squinted at the subject, splashed the color around with a big brush and then tried to do something with it.​

Down By The Pond

I walked down a little hill next to a pond and ​saw this eroded section of the bank. Visually speaking, I am fascinated by the intertwined root structures, the textures and the contrasts of lights and darks.

Mesa Verde Dwellings

I used reference I had from a 2007 family trip out west. We scrambled through the cliff dwellings and listened to the tour guide. The people who lived here left sometime in the 1300s.

Temporarily hiding paintings

Tonight...November 14, 2014, I am selling paintings at my son's school at Westminster Academy 2500 Ridgeway Road. It is a combination tailgate party and arts and crafts sale.

Anyway... This afternoon I will be temporarily hiding my paintings on the website...that is, Daily Paintworks, so that I will not accidentally sell a painting on the website while I am selling the same painting at the school. As soon as the sale is over, I will reactivate the website paintings.

Does that make sense?
