Hackberry no. 3

I have painted and drawn this tree several times. This time I used a combination of watercolor and pen and ink. It is a study in color, texture and sunlight.​

Backyard Snag

Just a little window into the edge of a rural backyard. In this one I started with dark watercolor and came back over with details in gouache.​

A "snag" is a dead tree still standing.

My Ancestors

Subject matter here is a very small cemetery near a church in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Some of my Wynne and Atnip ancestors are buried there.

I have always been visually attracted to dappled sunlight that makes circles and ovals on surfaces.​

Home Portraits postcard ad

I am trying to market my watercolor home portraits more aggressively. I just sent this design to Vistaprint.com and am printing 50 to start with.

The Stall Under The Barn

Original watercolor starting bid $30.00.

The subject matter is a stall under a large three story barn in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. My father worked here when he was in high school back in the 1940s.

I was visually interested in the textures and the value contrasts and the soft color transitions.​

Corn Crib

Bid here in the auction.

The subject matter is a corn crib with an attached paddock for a farm animal or two. This is in South Pittsburg, Tennessee on a farm where my father worked in the summers while he was going to high school.

I was visually interested in the shape of the crib and the interplay of light against dark and dark against light.

Springtime on Surrey Lane

Original watercolor bidding starts at $30.00. The vantage point here is the corner of Surrey Lane and Poplar Estates Parkway in Germantown, Tennessee. I was visually attracted to the intense reds, the overlapping highlights on the bushes, the spring greens and the shadows.​
