Red onion and shallot

Some time ago I was chopping an onion and a shallot on my cutting board and paused to admire their beauty.  I took this snapshot and painted it later in my downstairs mancave. It's available for purchase for $50--click the purchase link above.

Abstract calla

Trying to do abstraction in the style of an artist I much admire, Hiroshi Sato.  I'm trying to look at is as a learning experience even though the painting doesn't really work in my opinion.

Tybee Island screened porch

This is from a photo I took while on vacation at Tybee Island Georgia last summer. 

Sunflowers and thistles

My friend Ralph sent me a photo he took on his deck last fall of sunflowers and thistles, and I finally got around to painting it last week.  I gave it as a birthday gift to my wonderful daughter Laura for her 28th birthday yesterday.  Happy birthday Laura!

Cards for sale!

I've been working towards getting this up and active for awhile but I am finally at a point where I can sell things via my website.  I'm not planning on getting rich but I'm hoping to make a little money to buy painting supplies etc.  These are five cards that I sent my mother over the years, reproduced in a high quality digital print  on cream colored lightly textured "techweave" paper.  All are 5x7 inches, and the price of $20 for the set includes a matching envelope plus shipping/handling and taxes.  Click the "Purchase" tab above which will take you to another site where you can purchase via Paypal or credit card. 

Mark opens the barn

We had a wonderful evening in early October at a gathering for my wife's business (Milkworks, a Breastfeeding Support Center) at our friends Mark and Kay's house, including a genuine tractor pulled hayrack ride.  I took this photo of Mark getting the barn open to get out the tractor in the golden fall light. 

Cheesecake

Literally, not figuratively, a cheesecake picture.  (At one time, a cheesecake picture was one with some prurient appeal, generally a scantily clad female.)  This is from a photo I took as I finished my dessert at Kasia's a couple of weeks ago.  Struggled with the elipse of the plate until it seemed I was making things worse instead of better so I may tinker a bit more with it once it's dry.
