Brass Fish With Veggies

$100 SOLD

6x6" acrylic on masonite

I polished up this old brass fish plate and dropped a few veggies in. I didn't want to spend too much time on the detailed carvings in the plate and I think this is close enough. Of course you  haven't seen the plate so you don't know how detailed it is anyway .. I like the way the veggies came out. Real casual.

GREEN ON RED

TEA TIME sold

Acrylic on Masonite 6"x8"

This looks a little traditional for me with the white table cloth and nice cup. I liked the colors and wanted to try to get the reflective quality.

FANCY PANTS

                                    Acrylic on Masonite 6"x8"

I was riding the Washington sate ferry last week taking pictures of strangers hoping to get something good for a painting when I saw this gal. Bright orange shirt and I don't know what the pattern is on her pants but....wow!

Hen House

                                  6"x6" acrylic on wood panel
                                   SOLD
This is the same hen as below in a different pose. I like the warm tones here.
My old Grandmother was a collector of all things chickenish (is that a word?)
She had chicken pictures, chicken plates ,chicken cups, little ceramic chickens, chickens on her apron....in fact... she sorta looked like a hen with glasses...same little beak of a nose...round body ...skinny legs... in a good way though. Sorry Gramma!

Sliced Oranges

Acrylic on linen.30x22. It may appear, after the last couple of sunsets, that I had a lot of blue and orange paint to use up. Not really...I just like the contrasting colors. This is one done just with a knife. Lots of texture.

Good Company (reworked)

I couldn't keep my paws off of this one..It wasn't right...so I reworked it a little. I like it much better now. The first version is below. Maybe you can see what changes I made.

At the end of the rainbow

this rainbow ended right at the foot of our beach trail. must be a good sign!

Good Company

Some use shovels..some use a clam gun. Some carry the lantern while some just do the digging. There's nothing like trying to spot a hole the size of a dime by lamp light.
Acrylic on linen 30x14.

seals on the beach

 For some reason there have been quite a few seals and sealions beached lately in front of our house. The bald eagles got  one and the gulls got another just this morning. Reminded me that I did this digital image on the computer for a book a while back. It's titled  Seal Pup.

My son the surfer got sorta pumped when he saw this one. He has quite a collection of these..the tools of his trade.

SINGLE PEAR

I had panned to take this a little more toward realism but I kinda like it just like this.

Dawn Patrol

more clammers. I don't ususally pay much attention to these scenes when I'm digging..too focused on looking for clam holes. But it is beautiful down there just before the sun comes up isn't it?
Acrylic on linen 20x14

Golden Brown

This is my goal..to be old and comical but most of all to be free to lay in the sun like an old dog. I might  even take to wearing a watch like this old coot just to be able to see how long I've been cooking.
14x20" acrylic on linen

'lantern dig'

SOLD

This guy is going after the elusive Razor clam. You can tell by the fact that he's on both knees and has his wife holding the lantern that he's not a commercial digger. But you gotta hand it to them for going out after dark. Those clam holes are hard to see by lamp light.
This is about 20x15 done in oil on linen. SOLD

Deep Blue

This is pretty large 48x48. acrylic on canvas.I was not completely satisfied with it but got frustrated with reworking it again and again so made myself stop and I gave it to a gallery to hang.When I saw it hung I realized I like it a lot and I'm glad I stopped. It has a lot of punch. Strong colors..

Green Boat -sold

What gracefull lines this old boat has. I did the entire thing with the knife. I like this loose style better than the tighter things I've been doing lately.I'm happy with it as it is.
