TWO OF A KIND

8"x10" on panel
$100

So many clamming scenes are silhouettes and I don't like to paint silhouettes but when you're  shooting into the sunset that's what you get. It's hard to resist because the colors are so great in the sky and in the reflected sky. BUY WITH PAYPAL

FRESH CAUGHT

8x10" acrylic on panel
$125 SOLD





This is what they look like before cooking. They're about 5-10 inches across the back and those claws can really do some damage! You haven't lived 'till one of these guys unexpectedly crawls over your bare feet while you're standing in the surf. It's amazing how high you can jump!

RUNAWAY

8x10" acrylic on masonite panel

$125 SOLD










I'm having a little trouble with my photos. This painting is much better in real life.
There's a lot happening in the shadows that isn't showing up here.

COOKED CRAB

8x10 acrylic on Masonite
$125 SOLD




Crabbing season. These Dungeness crabs are the best! They turn from purple to this orange when they cook. I thought I'd paint a few in different poses.

ELMER'S RIG

6x8" on Masonite
$100 SOLD

This old fly rig was my grandfather's. He was a country boy who grew up fishing on the Lewis and Clark river and a do-it -yourselfer. This reel has had the handle replaced with a piece of pencil with tape wrapped around it. It's so old I don't dare fish with it but  it's cool to look at.

SALMON PLUG

6x8" acrylic on Masonite
$100 





I've got a bunch of these old antique salmon plugs. They're about 9 inches long and come in a variety of styles. A big lure for a big fish! Beleive it or not this was difficult to paint. Come on all you fishemen out there(and fishemen's wives) this would look great on your wall! A piece of salmon fishing history.

Yellow Pepper

6x8" on Masonite
$100







These peppers are luminous and that is hard to capture. This didn't photograph very well for some reason. It's better in real life ...really it is!

MAKIN' SOUP

8x10" on Masonite

$125 SOLD






Shiny..I like shiny. And I like these greens. Looks like this shot was taken during an earthquake! Everything is jumpy....animated!
No...I don't really make soup from scratch. In My wife's dreams maybe.

LITTLE ELEPHANT

acrylic on Masonite 8x10"
$125

One of my personal favorites. This little guy has been around a long time. He was standing on my grandparents floor my entire childhood and I've had him since they passed on. Probably just a cheap plaster of Paris thing but he's worth a lot to me. Makes a good subject for painting. Lots of reflective surface and although he's black  there is no black paint in this.

8x10" on Masonite
