Thank You!


Thanks for all your votes. My painting lead the way by a very comfortable margin until just before the end of the contest. Then two other paintings zoomed into the lead with the exact same total number of votes. Even if I didn't win, it was still good exposure.

We are back from our vacation in the mountains of Colorado. We hiked around Hoosier Pass and Boreas Pass, both at the 11,000 foot level. I took some great photos and, hopefully, they will be the basis of future landscapes.

Vacation in Breckenridge, CO


This is the view from our condo in Breckenridge, looking at the ski mountain. It is so gorgeous up there and we look forward to spending time up there every year. And I do mean "up there" since the condo is at 10,000 feet elevation.
I will bring my paints, but will not be posting on this blog for a week or so. I should get some good work done up there.

I Promised You a Rose Garden, 30x30 acrylic floral






This painting is a mystery to me. I did it a couple years ago. I've taken it to 2 or 3 shows, where it has been greatly admired and complimented, but it has not sold. Maybe it's the frame, which is a simple home made pine frame stained light brown. It's time for this painting to find a new home. For the month of June, this painting is only $600, including shipping (in the US).

Proud Vision, 04308, equine head study



I love the look of this beautiful horse's head. I worked a long time on getting the eye and the nose just right. When you look up close at a horse's eye, their vision always seem to be looking beyond you, somewhere in the distance.

Mrs. Brown and Daughter, oil portrait of hereford cows


This is a commission painting of a work I did last year called Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter. I just painted it again making few changes in the composition.
I'm sorry for the infrequent posts lately, but my daughter, Lauren, and her husband, Drouin, are visiting Denver (from Australia) for 2 weeks and I don't have time to spend at the easle. We are having fun. Today I beat her 6-3, 6-4 in tennis. (Of course she hasn't played in years and I play 3x a week.)
