summertime
I am preparing to do one last show before the summer season. This will be the fourth year that I have participated in "art on the lake" benefitting Children's Harbor. The artists are set up close to the shores of Lake Martin at Children's Harbor and 20% of our proceeds goes to benefit the programs. They have a wonderful camp facility that helps families that have children with serious illnesses. The show is Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
They chose my artwork for the t shirts this year. The same artist, Lila Graves, has been doing the artwork for years and needed a break so they opened it up to artists. The shirts have been a huge seller for them because of Lila's creative and whimsical work.They remembered a painting I had done before and asked me if I could translate it into a t shirt design. This was my brother in law when he was a young pup. I had to repaint and simplify the original painting.sold
"summertime" is painted on a 10 x 20 x 1 1/2" canvas.

hey cow
I went to the beach for a few days last week and purposely went out of my way on the way there in search of cows. I passed a lot of my go to pastures and the cows were not out. I finally decided to head back to the interstate and give up my quest. A couple of miles before the interstate, I was rewarded with a lovely crop of cows and nice light. (and...most importantly, a safe place to pull off the road) This is painted on a 20 x 20" linen canvas.sold

Lauren's cows
A few weeks ago I got an email from a girl who found my work on Daily Paintworks. She was inquiring about some of my cow paintings. She noticed where I was from and asked if I knew a particular family because her husband had gone to school with one of the sons. Turns out that I knew the family and my son Clint had gone to SMU with her husband. This is just one instance where I have discovered what a small world we live in.
Lauren commissioned me to paint these all in a 24 x 24" size.

roxy
Roxy was the cherished pet of a family from Nashville. It makes me sad alot of times when I paint these cute faces and know how much they will be missed. I guess it is similar to when we lose human loved ones and you just have to focus on remembering the good times. I really do feel blessed to have the job I have. It is so nice to bring others pleasure or happiness with paintings.
Roxy is painted on a 9 x 12" linen panel.

glisten II
I have been busy since my shows catching up on commission work. I am not able to post some because they are surprize gifts. This painting is for a friend I have never met who lives in North Carolina. Denise has a beach house that could one day become a museum that features my work if I become famous or more likely commit a crime that makes the national news. She has ALOT of my paintings and this is the first of four new paintings I am doing for her. She has several boy paintings and is trying to make her daughter feel a little better by commissioning me to paint some girl paintings.
I have painted "glisten" before. This one is painted on a 12 x 16" gallery wrap and is a bit different from the original. Although I always work from my own photos, I can not guarantee the same outcome when I paint it again. It is usually pretty close.sold
