Maynard, Arkansas is a very small rural town in east Arkansas.  I took a photograph of a building there about 15 years ago and used it as a reference for this painting.  It is small, about  9 x 12.

There are three main sections in this 20 x 24 painting–a shadow in the foreground, then a white area, and finally a darker section where the house is located.  Three areas in a picture help to establish distance.

Road to the Barn is 12 x 16.  I was primarily interested in painting a dirt road and the barn was a second thought!  The painting of the barn on the hillside is 14 x 18 and this time a simple dirt path leads to the barn.

Same landscape, slightly different place and certainly a few months later!

I like to work on landscapes because I dearly love trees!

This is a study of snow!  I can’t remember where this idea came from.

I seldom paint riders and horses!  This time I combined an old storefront  and dirt road with some human/animal interest.  The painting is 18 x 24.

 

This is a 16 x 20 painting of a rural scene which was painted  from several photographs of trees, roads, and bushes.

A  morning scene over a marsh.  This is another small 8×10 painting.

A summer sky.  This is an 8 x 10 small painting predominately focused on clouds.
