Landscape - Tin Barn

Tin Barn 16 in. x 20 in. Oil On Linen Canvas - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

THIS IS A FULL SIZED PAINTING, NOT ONE OF THE SMALLER DAILY PAINTINGS THAT I TYPICALLY LIST ON EBAY.

This is an old red tin barn in a field down the road from my house. The farm is probably a hundred acres, mostly fields that they raise goats on. I have driven past this scene many times and always wanted to paint it. This day had nice Fall sunlight across the field and barn. I really liked the red color and shape of the barn, and of course the sunlight on the field. I hope that you enjoy the painting!

Landscape - Early Fall Tree

Early Fall Tree 11 in. x 14 in. Oil On Linen Canvas - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

THIS IS A FULL SIZED PAINTING, NOT ONE OF THE SMALLER DAILY PAINTINGS THAT I TYPICALLY LIST ON EBAY.

This is a Hackberry tree that is ahead of the other trees in the area with its Fall colors here in Tennessee. I'm always amazed at what interesting things are around us when we take the time to look for them. This tree and field were right off of a relatively busy side road that leads out into the country. I almost didn't even see it when I was driving. I really liked the contrast of the colors in the tree against the field where most of the trees in the distance are still predominately summer green. To be honest I really like this painting, I hope that you enjoy it too!

Still Life - Before Halloween

Before Halloween 18 in. x 24 in. Oil On Linen Canvas - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

THIS IS A FULL SIZED PAINTING, NOT ONE OF THE SMALLER DAILY PAINTINGS THAT I TYPICALLY LIST ON EBAY.

This painting is of a pumpkin sitting on an old cabinet in my studio. Pumpkins are one of my favorite subjects and every Fall I try to do one or two paintings of them. From a compositional perspective this painting was all about the shapes. There are squares and rectangles reflected throughout, and the only thing in the painting that isn't composed of right angles is the pumpkin. Very fun to paint. I hope that you enjoy it!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Fall Squash

Fall Squash 8 in. x 10 in. Oil On Panel - SOLD

Squash and Pumpkins are some of my favorite things to paint. This painting has an Acorn Squash, a Carnival Squash, and a very small Pumpkin Squash. These items are life size on the panel and were perfect size for an 8x10 painting. I really like the neutral colors of the squash, kind of a slight greenish color on the Acorn and Carnival squash, and a pale orange on the pumpkin. I hope that you enjoy the painting!
