Secrets are in Here

Imagination is working over-time lately. I think that the subconscious is trying to say that there is a lot we will never know about ourselves, and plenty to be discovered if we can only get the courage to go up these stairs into an unknown area, which I admit, looks pretty bleak. This oil painting is 10 x 8.

Solitary and Deserted

Note the crack in the roof that is causing part of the house to collapse. The tower does not look stable, either, and the stones are in very bad shape. Another image of a deserted, abandoned home. This oil painting is 10 x 8.

The Lost Cause

Perhaps this is all that is left of a fine old southern mansion. Maybe at one time it had six columns in front and a large presence, but today all that is left is an open shed sort of attached to a half pillar! Notice that there is a moon in the sky because dark is falling.

Unstable and Deteriorated

I am really having fun with old buildings! The structures are deliberately painted to show what age and neglect can do to what was once a fine structure. This series is a commentary on what can happen to what was once a fine dwelling. Most of these paintings involve a great deal of imagination!

Holtzman-Vinsonhaler House

This oil painting shows an old Little Rock home that years ago was painted yellow. I believe it has now been restored but an old photo album showed that at one time it looked sort-of like this!

Van Buren, AR

This painting is 10 x 8 and I mistakenly published it in early December. I am showing it again because it is part of a series of old buildings, many broken and deserted , that I want to show to you in 2024.

Argenta Roses

Argenta is the name that people called North Little Rock many years ago. The story is that Argenta meant silver, and somehow silver was discovered here. (If anyone has more information on this, please let me know!) This oil painting is 12 1/4 x 9 inches and is painted in oil on hardboard. For further information, click here.
