A Tyrant, a Wall and a Rose Garden walk into a bar.
Where am I?
I hope the scope of this threat of a storm coming is overwhelming. I’ wouldn’t even show up in scale with the mountains,
Highwater Mark
This painting is from last year’s flooding in TX. 
Broken Fishing Lines
This small painting has monofilament lines embedded into the surface. This is a problem in our oceans. On show at HCAC Small works show.
Portents
Some paintings leap onto the canvas and are done. Not this one. You may not see the struggle, but I know it is there.
More monarchs
I do not usually work small, but the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) Small Small Works show is in Nov.& Dec. The painting that I showed in the Master Gardener show was 20″x16″. This one is 6″x6″. Change of scale, brushes, focus.
SOLD!
Thanks to Cathey at Art on Depot. She sold two of my paintings today! One was this Hummingbird. 
Red neck hummingbirds
Aggressive little guys. The girls do
give as good as they get.
Nature disturbed
I’ve been working on these. The foam flower has given me the most trouble! The praying mantis’s have been interesting. One is on two canvases, the swath down the middle is the mounting board, not part of the painting. The other one is on a panel. So far, I struggle more with acrylic on canvas, than on panels. But the canvases were just sitting there!
Hand built
All of the old farm buildings were built by hand, with local materials. Those materials have weathered and aged into beauty. This painting of a potato barn is at Art on Depot, Waynesville.
