I have only done one or two other paintings involving people eating. The waitress looks a bit sullen, I think.
Watercolor painting of Iris.


This is how I remember her, as she passed on many years ago.

This is the first time I have tried to paint a newspaper! A coffee cup seemed like a good companion.

This is a large acrylic painting of roses. I completed it a couple of years ago before I started this blog.


In my previous post I mention that I had completed a wall painting for the education room of Trinity Cathedral in Little Rock. These are photographs of the actual wall.


These two paintings are simple studies of peonies. I’ve never been totally satisfied with my peonies and have not found really good artificial peonies to look at. I am posting both paintings here in the same post.

Sorry, but I inadvertently published a blog today called “I am the vine” and had to take it down. Starting on April 10 I will be posting a series of photos of a mural that I have just completed. I am including a photo now of one study I did for the mural. Please watch for the rest of the photos.

This is a simple study that I painted on a panel. I often use small panels to try out techniques or colors. I like to work on small canvasses. I think that a common mistake for many students is to paint over life size without a good reason.
The darks in this painting are applied very thinly.
