I used the same blue and white table cloth for all of my River Market paintings. Actually, at the River Market the produce is sitting on the plain surface of white tables.

River Market Watermelon
This painting and the next two were inspired by summer trips to Little Rock’s River Market.
Crossing the Creek
I did a bit of trail-riding a few years ago but never crossed a creek! This is a painting that could be called western art and I don’t do many of these.
The Farm
Rows of crops segregated by a path and a barbed wire fence are in the foreground of this 18 x 24 painting. The cultivated crops are surrounded by woods…typical of a small farm in Arkansas.
Wash Day
Wash Day is a 11 x 14 painting with an appealing sort of simplicity. I used primary colors for the figure. This one hung for less than one hour before it was purchased by a senator.
At Home in the Country
This painting is 16 x20 which is a standard size for ready-made frames. I have tried in the last few years to use standard size canvas.
Three Graces
The two paintings shown today both show three girls in different garden settings. They are romantic paintings of dreamy dresses and hats. Most of us don’t look this way anymore. (I live mostly in blue jeans and paint spattered slacks) but it is fun to dream of what it would be like to be beautiful and useless! But I wouldn’t trade my dogs and work for anything!
