The "news" is that today I made the above 2 paintings available as prints on Fine Art America.  Please check out my website there for more information on these and other paintings and photographs of mine available at FAA as prints and note cards.

I will be busy tomorrow and however long it takes to complete 2  oil landscapes currently in progress.   It seems the older I get, the slower I paint.   Well, I've slowed down in a lot of ways with age.  But it's nice to "stop and smell the roses"     :-)

Looking Beyond (Oil Landscape With Woman And Mountains - Work In Progress)

 

Red -vented Bulbul in Rainbow Shower tree

 

A little birdie told me to go ahead and post again today.   I took a break this past Friday and went on a photo shoot at nearby Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu.   The above photo is one of several I took that day....but I also spent some time painting on Friday as well.    Below is one of 3 oil landscape  paintings I am currently busy trying to bring to completion soon.   





 

 

"Looking Beyond" is a 6" x 8" oil on linen panel.  It still has a ways to go; I will improve the color everywhere as I am not happy with the way things are going there.    Below is my reference photograph I took when I was in Utah.  I deliberately made the woman in the painting on a higher hill than in the photo.

 

 

 

Thank you for visiting today.   Please check back soon for the completed paintings.

"Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.  They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful."  - Jim Carrey

 

I wonder if Jim Carrey realizes that his quote can apply to people also when they turn towards The Light.

Guillory's Pond (Louisiana Landscape)

"Guillory's Pond"

9" x 12" oil on panel

Sold

This oil landscape with a tranquil pond brings back fond memories.  The floating log is a gathering place for turtles, and the yellow Louisiana iris in the foreground add to the pleasantness of the scene.   This painting was a recent commission.

Slide Rock Sedona And Works In Progress

Slide Rock Sedona 

6" x 8" oil on linen

Work In Progress

Today I worked on this oil painting of a scene at Slide Rock Park in Sedona, Arizona.  It still has a ways to go to bring to completion.    I positively love everything about Sedona.  Well, except maybe that it has built up too much , but there is still plenty of beautiful red rock scenery to gawk at.  

Below is another rough beginning on canvas today:

It is a 12" x 12" oil of a Black-Crowned Night Heron .  I just felt like doing a wildlife painting as a change of pace from the landscapes I have been doing lately.     Thought some of you new visitors might like to see how I put a piece of cardboard on the easel behind each painting; it helps keep paint from flying against the wall behind.   Also I use some tac putty and stick my reference photographs on the cardboard to have as a handy reference as I paint.  In the upper right hand corner you can see part of the reference photo for the above painting of Slide Rock.   

Check back soon to view the completed paintings.

Peaceful Path - New Mexico landscape

"Peaceful Path"  - Proverbs 3:17

8" x 16" oil on panel

$1275

This is the second painting in my "path" series, depicting symbolically the various paths in life or the choices people make as to what path to follow.   It is an oil landscape of Bandelier National Park or, more correctly, near Bandelier National Monument where there are ancient and unusual remains of ancestral pueblo people.  Actually, part of this footpath is on the main loop in the park and takes you to some of the ruins, which are over eight centuries old.    This area is high mesa country and is about 12 miles from Los Alamos, New Mexico.  There is another footpath which I did not take, but will do so if I ever return to the area, which has two fabulous waterfalls.  Time was the limiting factor in my visit there and there was no way to walk both footpaths on that day.  

The meaning and symbolism in this painting is open to individual interpretation; what I feel about it is similar to what the proverb says about Wisdom.

Autumn Of Our Life

"Autumn Of  Our Life - Ecclesiastes 9:9"

12" x 16" Oil on panel 

$1575

This oil landscape is the first painting in my series concerning the paths people take in life and the good or bad consequences thereof.    I promise I will, for the most part, concentrate on the good.   :-)       I try to capture beauty in my work; there is enough bad in the world without portraying it on canvas.   The obvious beauty here is the Fall foliage ; the other beautiful thing is a married couple still in love and together in the autumn of their years.   

My reference photo for this painting was taken at the Washington Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Seattle a few years ago.  There really was an older couple in my photograph, but I changed them up a bit with their clothing in the painting.   

"Stand by the roads and look; and ask for the eternal paths, where the good, old way is; then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."  Jeremiah 6:16

They Board Horses Don't They

"They Board Horses Don't They"

8" x 16" oil on panel

$ 1275

This oil landscape was inspired by a visit to Kawailoa Ranch on the North Shore of Oahu.  It is just outside the quaint artsy town of Haleiwa and near "Turtle Beach" (Laniakea) .   One of the trees on this property was featured on the TV show Lost.  

It is great to be painting again after back pain kept me from the easel for a few days.  I will go back to working on a Fall landscape next; check back soon.

This oil painting of horses and blue plumbago flowers is of Kawailoa Ranch on the North Shore of Oahu.  It is right outside of the quaint town of Haleiwa, near Laniakea (or "Turtle") Beach.   I have taken many reference photographs of the area and will be painting more scenes from this ranch, which primarily boards horses.  Plumbago flowers bloom year round here in Hawaii on an evergreen shrub.

The Red Barn

"The Red Barn"

6" x 8" oil on canvas on panel

Click to purchase

A small landscape study with more yellow wildflowers.   I believe I will paint a still life soon, but first I need to work on some seascapes.  Once I sit in front of the easel, inspiration comes and I paint with passion what my mind conceives.   (And what my reference photos dictate)     :-)
