"Memorial Park"

SOLD

Another morning dog walking locale.

(No PAD painting/posting Friday, I have some other projects I must work on.)

"Downtown Jacksonville"

SOLD

My morning dog walk today took me on a subject matter expedition downtown. The river makes our city so beautiful.

(This is one of those PADs that looks better in person.)

"Orange Flower Power"

SOLD

Some very orange lilies from Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania . This painting is a section from a photo taken by a friend's 6 year old daughter. Thanks Carolina!

"Lake Lily Pads"

SOLD

Lily pads on Little Lake Santa Fe, this PAD might serve as a study for a larger watercolor with even more color.

"Dreamer and Lightning"

SOLD

These are the first horses I've ever painted! They live at Little Lake Santa Fe. Dreamer is a paint Missouri Fox Trotter and Lightning is a chestnut Clydesdale/Thoroughbred.
I am not posting a painting Friday, have a great weekend!

"Hydrangea Picnic"

SOLD

"At The Pass: Santa Fe Lakes"

SOLD

I am in the process of painting a large landscape. Today's PAD is a small slice of that painting.

"Fruit Picnic"

SOLD

Back to "Still Life Monday"! Enjoy!

"Boxed Teal", Abstract Week, Day 5 of 5

SOLD

These abstracts are kind-of like small studies -helping me to decide if I would like to paint them larger ... not!

Have a great weekend!

"Pink, Green, Red" Abstract Week, Day 4 of 5

SOLD

I'm liking this one the most so far. Giving them a title is another story...

"Golden" Abstract Week, Day 3 of 5

SOLD

I think by the end of the week I will be cured of my abstract urge for awhile! They are a different kind of challenge than how and what I normally paint.

"Red, Black and Blue"-Abstract Week-Day 2 of 5

or horizontal
SOLD

I used a heavy gel medium mixed with the acrylic paint to apply it on thick with a palette knife -rather fun to create.

"Prussian Blue Study" - Abstract Week, Day 1

SOLD

I like to switch gears on occasion and paint abstracts. It is fun to experiment even though I don't quite know what I am doing! So it is going to be abstracts for this week, please tell me what you think of them and if you like an "Abstract Week" here and there.
(These two are listed together on eBay as a pair starting at $125.)

I sold this one below last week, "Three", H 54" x 72", which is part of the inspiration for me to try some small abstracts!

"The Sunday Paper"

SOLD

A favorite thing to do for so many people: go somewhere to read the Sunday paper (with your dog of course!). Johnnie E. here is with his beloved (now deceased) boxer, Abbie and my dog, Talley, at Shelby's Coffee Shop in Atlantic Beach. Have a great weekend!

"Bahama Blues"

SOLD

Here's a 'postcard painting' from the Abacos. It was/is sooo cold today I thought I would paint of warmer days. This image is from one of my trips with the Dunkles on their boat and we passed this awesome private island. (This painting looks better in person and this island looks better in person!)

"Be Mine, Valentine"

SOLD
So I know I am early with this but I thought if anyone wanted to give their Valentine a unique gift...here it is. No calories! The auction for this ends 2/11 in the evening, just in time for delivery! "Heavenly Creations" Chocolate Shoppe in the 'Roosevelt Mall' stores was very generous in allowing me to take some reference photos of their freshly made chocolate bars on a tray. This blog project is giving me a chance to try all sorts of painting subjects!

"Hollyhocks"

SOLD

These hollyhocks are from a trip I took to the mountains of North Carolina one summer. This might become a large watercolor one day.

"Guana Lake Lone Palm"

SOLD

When kayaking along Guana Lake in South Ponte Vedra, this lone palm made me think of nature's stubborn perseverance. I've painted this palm before and decided to "revisit" it.
