The Rincon House is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas panel. I just finished it yesterday. I started it while on vacation last week. It is my brother’s family house in Rincon, Georgia. I got to see them while away last week and we had a nice visit. I showed them the beginning of the painting and promised to wrap it up this week and get it ready to send to them. Now I just have to wait for the paint to dry. 🙂

Riding the Drive is an oil on 12″x12″ gallery wrap 1 1/2″ canvas. This painting was done as a Christmas gift for Allen who loves bicycling on the Skyline Drive. We live in an area where there are so many beautiful scenes to paint especially scenes from Skyline Drive across the Shenandoah Valley.

This is the beginning of a new painting year. Last year ended with 216 paintings done over the course of the year. I am working on a plan for this years goals and should have something ready to share this week. Until then I will continue with the daily work.

“Remembering Choco” is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas panel. He was a gift from a mom to son who had recently lost his German Shorthair Pointer.

Pointers are gorgeous dogs full of life and intensity. This painting was done as a composite since I didn’t have a photo of Choco. But I did have several photos of German Shorthair Pointers that I have taken over the years including this one which is one of my favorites. He looks so great against the red barn wall.

The Tree Out Front

The Tree Out Front is an oil on 6″x8″ canvas and is available for $95. We still have lots of snow and it makes everything look so different that I want to paint all the scenes with snow on them now. I’ll have to settle for taking photos to build my reference file.

This is the reference photo and how it looks on the easel with the painting. This photo was taken from my front door looking to the left down the street.
