Blue Bowl with Lemons SOLD (Click here view results on eBay)

Citrus on Tile SOLD (Click here to view eBay results)

I painted this 8x8 oil from some reference that I took a year ago while visiting California. I always liked the tile that my son's kitchen had. It made a nice contrast to the warm reds and yellows. Click on the image for a larger view.

Spice Caddy SOLD (Click here to view results on eBay)

Here's a painting I did from one of our Saturday night outs. We've been trying to find some older and more nostalgic places to eat, but it seems like the old Mom and Pop shops are all gone around here. Click on the image for a larger view.

Homemade Jam SOLD (Click here to view results on eBay)

Once again, I didpped into old photos to find something fun to paint. It aslo seems to be some of my favorite treats. We just had a jar of my Mom's homemade jam in our fridge, but an empty jar isn't as fun to paint. It was gone in two days. Click on the image for a larger view.

Caramel Apple#4 SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

Here's another old subject that I've painted at least 3 times before. They are great to paint because of the color and slicknes of the covering. They are also fun to eat and I'm glad to paint from archives instead of indulging in another one. Click on the image for a larger view.

Apple Pie SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

Apple pie has always been one of my favorite subjects. I dug this shot out of some old photos to try this one again. My intention was to get extra thick and expressive with the paint and to look at this piece as a painting more than an accurate rendering of a piece of pie. I think I might go back into it again before long and add something else to it. Click on the image for a larger view.

Woodpile With Wildflowers SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

This painting was done from a shot I took at a golfcourse in Ponca, Nebraska. Nice little nine hole course that was well manicured. These logs had been cut down at some point with a chainsaw and piles up off to the side of a fairway. I liked the sunlight coming through the trees and the colors of the cut logs.

Peaches in a Bag SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

I've always like Julian Merrow-Smith's painting technique, especially how he captured peaches. He always had the dusty red and purple shades that just feels like the fuzz it represents. He's a plein air painter living in Provence, France. He's a daily painter with a quick direct way of painting that more and more reminds me of a Cezanne in his early days, before he went semi cubist. Anyway, he's a great inspiration for landscapes and still lifes, and if I knew how to insert a hyperlink, you would see what I mean. Click on the image for a lrger view.

Flower Barrel SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

This is a painting I did from a shot I took on a golf course in Ponca, Nebraska. I have a nice shot of a stack of logs and flowers that I may paint sometime later. Click on the image for a larger view

Shade Tree SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

When walking around the valley floor of Monument Valley every turn and every direction is a painting to me. It does snow there occasionally, and I can't imagine how bizzare that would look. Click on the image for a larger view.

Dry Gully SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay, after 6pm PST Monday )

Here's another scene from our day at Monument valley. I think I'm getting closer to the dramatic colors of the mid-day sun that we saw that day. The colors of the desert new cease to amaze me. You just about can't find rich enough hues to correctly depict the scenes. Click on the image to see a larger view.

Big Burger SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

This is a painting of one of Uni's big cheese burgers from here resturant and bar in Dixon Nebraska. Dixon is a quiet little town in the northeast corner of Nebraska where my wife lived when she was a little girl. Her Dad grew up there and was in the bee/honey business there with his father and brother. They don't make a better burger anywhere. Click on the image for a larger view.

Bent Juniper Tree SOLD (Click here to bid on eBay)

Here's a scene I shot while we were waiting for some air races to end at Monument Valley. Red Bull had sponsored some races the day we rolled in and we had hurried away from Moab 2 hours earlier to get there before noon to shoot some scenes. Turns out we finally got out there around 2 pm and got some pretty good afternoon shots. Heavy air and clouds for a change. Click on the image for a largwr view.
