Obion River no. 3

If you are willing to get a little muddy and you dress right to protect yourself from mosquitoes and saw briers this is a typical sight in the Obion River bottoms after there has been a lot of rain.

Obion River Muddy

​This is Davy Crockett country in the forks of the Obion River in northwest Tennessee. There is a quiet stillness in areas like this, where the breeze doesn't blow and when the tree frogs are between choruses.

The crisscrossing branches have a reaching, finger like quality to them as they stretch out toward the still water.

Across the Pond

I went out on a quick little painting excursion this afternoon. I left the Wolf River Trails walking path and set up my stuff down by a pond. The sky was cloudy but there were still some nice reflections.

Wrenches

Just a closeup look at some of my tools hanging from the pegboard in my garage. Some of these belonged to my father. The textures, the colors, the lights and the darks appeal to the artist's eye. The memories are an added bonus.

Lonely Road 2

This is a mood-inducing painting. Driving across the country at dusk is often a lonely experience. Hopefully there is resolution at the end of the journey.

Elk River Guest Ranch Pastoral

My son worked on a guest ranch (Elk River Guest Ranch) last summer and brought back a lot of photographs. This is a design based on one of them.
