Larkspurs


I've been fighting weeds to reclaim a former stone fishpond for flowers. I got
a nice stand of larkspurs this year. This was a pretty quick painting, 13" x 9".

near Wilburton, OK


I think this is an old kiln. I spotted it while driving a back road of southeastern Oklahoma,
which is way more scenic than I expected.  I joined a little online daily painting group
recently and quickly realized I'm by far the most "square", literal-minded participant.
So I'm trying to be a little more expressive here with my shapes and colors.  15" x 21".

big Hedge


Some homeowner on my jogging route has carefully engulfed their house with shrubbery.

Paluxy River near Track Site 3


This was started as a 9" x 12" plein air sketch from a bank of the Paluxy River near a set
of dino tracks in Somervell County, Texas. The sketch was a mess but I was able to
rework it at home. Eventually I figured out I needed to de-saturate the distance colors
to give it some depth.
