Handmade Pot by Lebanese Artist

This beautiful piece of hand thrown pottery was given to me by a wonderful Lebanese artist. I love the color of it and decided to feature it in a still life with lemons and a white cloth to show it off. The pot itself has given me many years of pleasure and is not for sale, but if you are interested in the painting, find out more by clicking here.

Country House in Early Morning

This is an 8 x 10 oil painting on canvas panel. Notice the smoke coming out of the chimney. It is a chilly early spring morning. For more information, click here.

The Cake Mix Cake (add 2 eggs)

This painting shows several items I had never tried to paint before–a stainless steel pan, eggs, and a stainless steel spoon with wooden handle! It is a “kitchen painting” and for further information, click here.

Red Apples on a White Cloth

The light on the two apples modeling for this painting is coming from both the right and directly over head. Most of the time, I have my lamp focused on the left hand side but I wanted to try something different. For more information, click here.

Three Apples

The two apples in the front are honey crisp apples but the apple directly behind them was a solid red delicious (I think). This is a small 5 x 7 painting on canvas panel. For more information, click here.

Two Honey crisp Apples

Honey crisp apples are not solid red, but always have yellow on part of their skin which makes them fun to paint. These two were part of a group of three but one got eaten before this painting was begun! For more information, click here.

My new book, The Civil War Letters of Deakins, Perry, Wollery, Fox and Others.

I have just published a book of Civil War letters that my father, John William Perry, inherited from his grandfather, a Civil War soldier. The book contains photographs of my great grandfather in his Civil War uniform and of his wife and son. You can see and read a lot about this book on Amazon. Click here for more details.
