Big Cedar Lodge Paint Out 2012
I just returned home today from a short getaway at the Big Cedar Paint Out, near Branson.      I'm always exhausted, but it's a good tired, after getting out to paint and to visit with art friends.     After a couple cold, rainy mornings, I waited until later in the day to get out, so only got two paintings almost finished.    I decided this year I wasn't going to kill myself rushing around trying to do more paintings.    Instead I took more time to visit with the other artists, and to enjoy the resort.    My daughter, Shawna and grandson Levi, came down and joined me for one night.    We had a quick dinner in Branson, and that night Levi tried out the resort's double level, outside heated pool.   Even if the temp was about 45 degrees.    Here is a photo of my display at the show.     I'm hoping to hear from some of my contacts.     Now, tomorrow, to unpack the van, and organize my studio again.

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.
