"Derain Passed by 7th and Driftwood" 12" x 16" Oil on Canvas. Sold. I miss you guys but the pine trees are inspiring. Another artist loaned me a book about Fauve artists and Andre' Derain was my favorite so I went out and tested his style.

"Errol"

 

"Errol"

My submission to the Wild Arts Festival Nov. 21st-22nd 2015.

Errol is a Great Grey Owl.

After a long Hot summer recovering from a broken arm and leg resulting from a car accident on May 15th, this was my first painting since the Red Trucks.

Yes....it was my painting arm.

Red Trucks for Village Gallery of Arts Challenge

I finished my red trucks for the VGA challenge.  They will be for sale while hanging in the Gallery during the Month of May 2015.

They will be displayed vertically along with around 89 other artists works.

These are two different trucks.  One and two are views of a 1959 Chevy Apache 31 Pickup.

Three and four are views of a 1959 Chevy Viking 60 flatbed truck.

Turbulent Skies

After our fun exercise at the Arts Guild meeting 3-26-15, I was inspired to give it a go on my own.....and since my muse has been a wanderlost?? is that right?...not sticking around with me anyway, I had to jump at the first hint of inspiration......here is my valiant effort at collage.  It was interesting and fun.  I have a few more ideas I would like to try........First, I will finish my painting assignment for the 2015 Village Arts Gallery challenge.  I will post the set of four when they are completed.
