Moody Blue

Airbrush acrylic and colored pencil

This was an experiment for me to see if I could paint two images into the same pic with overlapping. Very difficult to do using an airbrush. I called this one Moody Blue because that was the name of Elvis' last album.

I wanted to see how little of Elvis' face I could render and still be able to tell who it was. It was faun challenge.

I love Elvis, always have. That is why I did a series of portraits of him... just for fun. I did the series of 4 several years ago and this was the first one I did. I will post the other 3 in a later post.

Tree of Light

Tree of Light
Oil on canvas 48" x 48"

I did this painting probably nine or ten years ago to display in a home that was to be put on display for the public. After that "house" show was over I took it to a private school art show here in Nashville to sell. It was my first year to do that show and as luck would have it the school actually bought it from me to hang in their school. I was quite honored because they had hundreds of painting there to choose from to purchase.
This was a pretty ambitious painting for me to do mainly because of the sheer size of it. I usually like to paint fairly small but this one was a rare exception.

Hay Wagon (small)

I have always been drawn to old photos of horse drawn anything. I loved the simplicity of this scene and the simple beauty of another time. This was oil on masonite 12" x 12" so the figures were pretty small. I mainly just wanted to paint it quick just to get the mood of the scene.

Rolled Gold

Oil on masonite
9" x 12" (I think)

Every once in a while I run across a photo that just begs to be painted and this the case for this one. I wanted to keep it simple and loose and mainly just try and capture the feeling of the light that came from this scene. I sold this piece at an art show in Nashville.

This was a portrait of my nephew Graham that I did as a gift. He is an awesome intelligent kid who loves anything to do with the outdoors.
