Welcome!!!

Welcome to my little corner of the universe.



My journey into the world of art began by watching Mom. She could work magic with a bit of paint and a brush. I was fascinated by how she could transform a flat blank canvas into a beautiful work of art. Now, several years later, I'm continuing in the footsteps I followed as a child watching Mom. Thanks for your inspiration and guidance!!!!

"Playin' Up a Storm"

Revisited "The Banjo Player".  I really wasn't happy with the back ground or the facial color.  What do you do on a chilly, drippy spring day?  Do a painting re-do.  And so I present -

Changing perspective



Changed perspectives on a painting I did a couple years ago called "Awakening".  I decided to take a fresh approach.  And so.....  just off my easel.




"Not a Worry in the World"
(40 x 30)  Oil on Canvas

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
