My favorite place...my outdoor studio this morning.  Though it was only in the 50's I had to go out to spend a little time.  It has a skylight and the lighting is good.  I've painted many hours in this little metal building.

"Sedona Trail"  16 x 20 Pastel  $350.00

Completed and ready to go to Sparrows Gallery, 124 West Main st., Denison, tX

I'm back in my outdoor studio today...I love it!  Reworking a pastel painting.

I enjoy doing landscape paintings in between portraits.  I'm given some freedom in that

I don't have to focus on a likeness but can use lots of artistic license.

If you guessed that this is a glass of iced tea then you were correct! I call it "Looking Through the Glass".  I loved the way the light shone on the tea through the sculpted glass showing the color in the background. 

It is a 12"x 24" oil painting on board. 
It will be going to Sparrows Gallery, 124 West Main St., Denison, Tx.

""I just want to express to you that I have been given this gift from God. I thank Him for the desire and ability to develop it.  I thank Him for "eyes to see and ears to hear" the beautiful things He has created.  I am just a recorder of the beauty that He has made."" Jerry Hunsinger

Today is going to be a full painting day.  I had to move my things into the house because it is too chilly to work in my outdoor studio (my favorite place). 

This is an 11 x 14 oil painting of a young father and his newborn daughter.

This commissioned painting was recently completed.

Can you guess what this is? 

This work in progress appears to be an abstract painting but in actuality is a realistic painting of something we all see everyday.

Check back tomorrow to see the completed painting which will hang at

If I miss a day of posting it's probably because I'm "grandparenting". 
I'm continuing my posts on portrait commissions.  Along with portraits of people I also accept commissions of pets... dogs, horses, cats and any other animal that you consider to be your pet.

This is a photo of a commission I finished recently.  It is in oil on canvas and is 18" x 24".

Back to the drawing board....
After a time of rest...sabbatical...I am enjoying my outdoor studio again. I've started a new
series called "My Neighborhood".  It will include scenes/items that I am privileged to see everyday
at or near my home in North Texas.

This piece is a  12"x14" pastel work in progress of the view of my backyard.  I will call it "Bread of Life" because that is what it means to me.

The completed piece my be viewed at Sparrows Gallery at 124 West Main St., Denison, TX
