Oil Still life


It was great to have a couple art friends, De Munden, and Cheryl Coen, at my Studio this week. We decided to do a still life for a change of pace. We had done quite a few plein air paintings all summer, and because of the weather it's time to move inside. It's fun to see the same subject through other artist's eyes. Here is my version. Now that my studio is a little more organized, I'll have to do more still lifes. I have many keepsakes, just crying out to be preserved in a painting. I'm looking forward to painting at De's studio next month. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

July 8th, 2009 This was a quick painting done at the Blackjack area on the Sac River just North of Stockton, Missouri. It's a nice little sight where the river splits around two small islands. Two other friends and I started early, and quit before it got too hot.

This is a tribute to a wonderful art friend who died a few years ago, Dennis Yates.    He was and still is an inspiration to me.    I uploaded this painting of mine before, but this is a better photo of the painting.   Dennis let me use his original photo to work from.   I've had many offers to purchase this, but I promised him I wouldn't sell it, so it graces my brother's dining room in Alabama.   This is      "Apple Basket", 16"x 20", Oil on canvas.
