This is a study for a painting. It is 8 1/2 x 11 (acrylic) and is painted on a type of cardboard! I tried to paint on cardboard after seeing the many paintings by Picasso that our Little Rock museum showed a year or so ago. I did not know that cardboard was such a stable support! But not ideal, I guess.
This is the “mate” to the painting shown on Dec. 10. It, too, hung in the bedroom of an Arizona artist for a number of years, and was done by me especially for him and his wife. This painting depicts a house of ill repute at dusk in the west with two customer’s horses tied at the rail.
I think these barns actually had gray tin roofs, but I felt that the painting needed color so I repainted them red! The painting is 9 x 12.
This house belonged to a friend who moved to Colorado. Her dog, a black lab mix, is on the porch.
Cheerful, primary colors to brighten up a winter day.
I was interested in painting snow and frozen ice in this piece. The old house I fancied to be 76 years old. The three added women in black add a feeling of strangeness to this art.
A wonderful town to visit! Probably too cold in the winter for me, though.
I enjoy painting dogs and cats and I particularly like it when I have a subject like this woman! It is a 9 x12 painting.
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.
This painting and the next two were inspired by summer trips to Little Rock’s River Market.
