I did this painting from a faded photo. I really like the colors in this one. I painted it  in summer of 2011.

the lake in early fall

I started this a few months ago. I finally got it finished. It was painted from a photo I took. last fall. I am really looking forward to more painting this summer.

This is a painting I did at the Mansfield Indiana Mill in June of 2010. It isnt my best work but it was fun to paint. It was hot the day I painted it and couldnt stay out long enough to finish it.  This year I went over it and put some fall colors in it. It was just too drabby for my taste. I will post a new one soon thanks for looking.

River of flowers

    Here is another painting I painted about 2 years ago.  I painted this from my own thoughts. I have more paintings to post but I will  add then  a few at a time. I am working on a fall picture now. I started it a few days ago but had to get away from it awhile. I suffer from anxiety and depression but it is getting better. It is not a fun thing to live with. But I am controlling it and it is not controlling me.   As soon as I get the next painting done I will post it.

visions of my grandmother

These two paintings I copied them from two small paintings on masonite board. They were my grandmothers paintings. She always painted mountains and pine trees in her pictures. I gave these to my mother and when she passed, they were returned back to me. Hope you enjoy seeing my work. I  am happy to  have a way to share what I do with others.

my deer painting

This painting like most of my paintings  I start painting in a sky and what ever I feel like that is what I put in my paintings. I love to paint water and trees. Most of my paintings have water and trees. I do not draw anything first.   I just start painting and loose myself in the painting.  

Mountain View

I painted this picture about 3 years ago for my mother. She always liked paintings with color. She asked me to paint a little red truck going up the hill. I didnt get around to it. She passed away july the 4th this year 2011. I miss her so much.  This painting is about 4 ft.  by 5 ft.
