"Black Lab"

SOLD  6" x 8" oil on panel

My dog PADs are popular and some people have wondered if I can paint something other than a golden retriever. It is hard not to paint a golden ...but how about a labrador retriever! This is Teal Krueger at the lake.

"Pink Hydrangea"

SOLD   7" x 7" oil on panel

I went to visit a gardener's garden in Deerwood Monday before all of the rain and painted this hydrangea. I haven't seen too many pink ones before. Enjoy! 

"Guana Lake Shoreline"

SOLD 6" x 8" oil on panel

Here is another landscape from a kayaking trip to Guana Lake. Enjoy!

"Speared Fish Study"

SOLD

Some of you may recognize this one as part of a larger earlier painting from a trip to the Caribbean years ago. I just felt (late this afternoon after being rained in all day) like painting this section again looser than previously painted.

"Blue and Yellow Study"

SOLD   6" x 8" oil on panel

I love painting lemons and they look great with this blue and white china.

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

"View of the Cummer Garden"

SOLD   6" x 8" oil on panel

Here is another one from my visit to the Cummer Museum and Gardens several weeks ago.

I am not painting and posting a PAD Friday so I can get ready for the Riverside Arts Market this Saturday. I have booth space 406 again, come visit me there!

"Keukenoff Tulips II"

SOLD 4 3/4" x 12" oil on panel

I decided to paint a companion painting for the one I did yesterday. I like the way tulips are sometimes planted with a shorter bed of flowers underneath.

"Keukenoff Tulips"

SOLD   4 3/4" x 12" oil on panel

The friends I was kidsitting for brought me back a disc full of photos of flowers from their trip to the Netherlands. These tulips are from Keukenoff Gardens. Enjoy!

"Bolles Hall"

SOLD   6" x 8" oil on panel

I unintentionally took a break from PAD painting for the past ten days. I was kidsitting three great active boys for my good friend Susan Brodeur and with other projects and a show at First Guaranty bank last week I just didn't paint and post!

This is Bolles Hall at the Bolles School in Jacksonville which was originally built as the San Jose Hotel in the early 20's.
