"SOFTBALL & FIREFLIES" original oil painting on canvas

The canvas. WOW! this was a workout, I kept going back and fourth with the placement of everything even though I used my smaller painting as a guide.  There are things that I wanted a little different so the journey was a lot longer to complete and make work.  It will be interesting to see if I leave it alone or add something here and there.. : )  

"HARVEST"

The photo this painting was taken form was a trip through Kansas.  I lost count on how many paintings I have accomplished from that ride across this wonderful part of our country.  So much to see.  I painted this in my B&W method of a chiving my black coloring.  The canvas was also heavily gessoed so there was virtually no texture of canvas.  the painting is 40x40 and has been sold.     

"THE HIGHWAY"

Heading south out of Palm Springs some time back with my AM radio blaring I said to myself.. Theres your next painting.  12x12" oil on canvas.
