I love to come across street musicians. It doesn’t matter what the instruments are, I am fascinated by musical talent of any kind. I found these two guys blowing some great tunes on a sidewalk in Southern California a couple of years ago and knew I had to capture them in a painting.
On the Crystal River
Here’s a little oil painting I did of a gentleman on the Crystal River in Colorado. The little river is one of the most beautiful there is. To top it all off, there is a campground right on a portion of the river. Last summer Kathy, my wife, and I stayed there for a couple of days so I could …
Waiting for Abe to Open
This is a full sheet watercolor I finished last week of a “client” waiting for Abe to open his Old Tumacacori Bar which is in extreme southern Arizona near the Mexican border. This painting is entered into the Colorado Watercolor Society show coming in the spring.
Winter Fun
Here’s a watercolor I just finished a couple of days ago for our Christmas card this year although I realize that I’m running out of time for printing and mailing. Maybe I’ll use it for next year instead…we’ll see how it goes.
The Old Adobe
Here is a little 6 x 8 oil that I did a couple of days ago of an old adobe house just off of Canyon Rd. in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Canyon Road is a famous art district in Santa Fe. I used to show in a gallery there. I love to wander the side streets in the area. It is really, …
Baby it’s Cold Outside
8 degrees with a wind chill of -5 this morning when I got up . Guess I won’t be riding my motorcycle today. Nor will I be painting outside either I suppose. I have painted out in the cold before but it is hard to get the fingers to move in the way I want and the oil paint gets …
Waiting for You
Here is my painting for today, a new little 8 x 6 oil painting I just did of a sidewalk cafe near the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim. I painted it from a photo I took as part of a series while out there a couple of years ago. I just love the bouganvillea that are so poular in Southern California. This painting …
Garden Fountain
This is my painting for today. It is a little 6 x 8 oil I just did of a fountain in a garden at a winery in the Napa area. It is from a photo I took when we road our motorcycles out there in June of ’08. A lot of inspiration there for sure. Click here to bid on …
The Little Colorado Canyon
OK. As promised…here is my painting of the view from our room at Cameron Trading Post at sunset. It is a little 6 x 8 watercolor. I painted it from a photo I took. I had my watercolor kit with me at the time but the light was fading so quickly, I knew I couldn’t get it set up in …
Winter Wonderland
Here’s a new oil painting I just finished. It is based on a series of photos I took a couple of winters ago when I took my son to Telluride to go snowboarding for the day. I don’t do that, so I turned him loose on the slopes and I went in search of a painting. This scene is from …
