New Work on Etsy

Have a look at some of my newest paintings on Etsy. I have been working on a series of farm-scapes that I have titled 'Symphony'. The top painting is Symphony in Green, and the bottom is Symphony in Yellow. Both are 8"x10", oil on canvas.

From Field to Field

From Field to Field

16" x 20" Oil Paint on Canvas

Available at Etsy

I tried to create layers of texture and color, almost quilt-like. The sky has a lot of waves of impasto, and I was very happy with how the land just floats and continues into the sky.

Coming Home

Coming Home

8"x10"

This one has a lot of impasto texture. Painted with a palette knife.

Sheep Duo

Sheep Duo 14" x 14" Available at Etsy

I did two paintings in this style. One has sold and this fun pair is still available. The neutral background really makes the color stand out. 

Blue Pond

Blue Pond 6"x8" Sold

This was a fun, little, experimental piece. I love balancing simplicity with texture and interesting shapes.

The Road Home

The Road Home 10" x 30" Oil on Canvas. Available Sold.

I have been doing a lot of paintings lately in a long, narrow format. This is one of the larger ones and I was really please with the drama this size creates. The long vistas of flat, farmland, really inspire my landscapes.

Farm to Market

Farm to Market 12" x 12" oil on canvas. Sold.

This little painting is an homage to all those lonely little roads that criss cross through the US, leading to farms and ranches.

In the Valley

Farmhouse Simplicity

Farmhouse Simplicity. 6"x8" oil painting on canvas. Sold

Sheep at the Stone Farmhouse

Sheep at the Stone Farmhouse. Oil painting on canvas 16" x 20" Available at Etsy.

I was interested in the texture of this old farmhouse, and improvised the landscape. I think the sheep add a lot of personality to the scene.

I Know This Land

I Know This Land 16"x16"Sold

This one has a lot of thick impasto. I think the yellow sky really balances the composition.

A Simple Day

A Simple Day. 6" x 8." Sold

This is the second in a series of cloud paintings I just finished. I wanted the sky to dominate. The next painting coming soon is a larger 24x24 piece that is very dramatic. It is still drying in my studio.

Clouds Roll By II

Clouds Roll By II. 16" x 16." Available at Etsy.

I have been experimenting with clouds. Big rolling clouds. I have two others in this set that I will post soon. I was pleased with the colors of this one, esp. the teal/aqua sky.

Only With You 8" x 16" oil on canvas. Available at Ugallery.

I was really experimenting with this one. I love the long, narrow, shape. It makes the scene more dramatic.

Let's Talk

Let's Talk 12" x 12" oil on canvas. Available at Etsy.

This was just a fun exercise with color! I wanted the blues and greens of the birds to really pop! The orange isn't quite as bright as the top photo shows.

Blue and Orange II

Blue and Orange II 8" x 8" oil on canvas Sold

This is the second of a pair I painted last week. I am playing with the texture of the paint and trying to simplify shapes and color.

Blue and Orange

Blue and Orange 8" x 8" Sold.

After working on the mural restoration project at the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth, I am now back in the studio painting! And it feels good. This is one of two similar country house paintings I did last week.
