"Crooked Caramel" 8x10 (Click here to bid on eBay)

This is my first painting for auction from my new home in Gilbert. It's been hard trying to get set up with the hardest thing to overcome is the carpet on the floor of my new studio that is going to get trashed. I hate to ruin it, but I just can't be thinking about making a mess and trying to spread paint around freely. Rolling my chair around on it is another frustration altogether.

"Tangelos" 9x12 )Click here to bid on eBay)

This is the last painting I painted from the garage studio that I was working in at my daughter Kacey's house in Chandler. We came out to stay for the winter back in November of '07, but we sold our house in South Dakota in December and moved whatever we didn't sell to Arizona in January. Our new home is in the south of Gilbert in a development called Seville. This will be the 80th painting that I completed during those hot days and nights in that garage. It's a painting of one of the tangelos that our Aunt Mary gave us from the many fruit trees she has in her yard in Peoria. Click on the image for a larger view.
