"Old Pals"

36x36

Oil on gallery wrap canvas

So here's another large painting..I think I tweaked this a little but don't have a photo...this is close..I am writing this from my iPad...in sunny port st.lucie, Florida...getting ready to head out to golf..curt, the "dog whisperer" who's looking after our girls, says it s mighty cold in Columbus!..hope our pipes don't freeze while we fritter away our time hitting that little ball..finding it....and hitting it again...mike and ginny have some good things planned..we're going to the first day of the Honda classic Thursday...should be fun as we'll be stationed near the bear trap!..can't wait!!.. 

"Old Faithful"

36x36

oil on gallery wrap canvas

 

so here's another large painting..i think it's ok for me to talk about this..I've been asked to place several large pieces on the walls at Harrison lake county club...i'm delighted for this opportunity and especially delighted to have a chance to use the large canvases I bought..just in cases...my thinking was.."if you build it, they will come.." the new manager, bob haddad, jr. wants large and colorful work..my poppies will go out there as well..i'll be posting other things as I go along...

"Rusty 11"

30x30 oil on gallery wrap canvas

so this piece will be going to a client in Tennessee...it's drying as we speak...

finally getting started...

so this is the start...the painting is a commission for a gal in Tennessee who has already purchased one of my large boat paintings and wanted this to go with it..I've been so busy..traveled to see our friends tim and Katie..just hosted 40 here for the Gregory family reunion yesterday so the house was a priority!..i'm supposed to be participating in the 30 in 30 challenge so i'll post this even though it's only half way done...hope to finish it tomorrow and then on to the next commission and then on to the dailies!...

"Summer Calm"...SOLD

30x30 original oil on gallery wrap canvas

so last week I got word from the Venue, my gallery in Bloomington, that a couple was wanting to spend some time with this painting...they took it home over the weekend and today I got word that they were buying this piece!!..how humbling and what a thrill!  

potato creek morning

16x20 oil on canvas panel

"The Kids"

18x24 oil on canvas

 

so today we head up to the galleries in indy...this will be going to carmel..the midland gallery on gradle in carmel is having their annual open house from 6 to 8:30 tonight and i want to have my wall full of new pieces.  it's always a very nice affair if you happen to be out and about..the party for the midland downtown on Michigan is Thursday from 6-8:30..

here's what i've been working on...and happy thanksgiving...

18x24 oil on stretched canvas

so this is one thing i've been working on...since it's so large it's taken me several days...I'm really liking how it's turning out...I've shown the way i started at the top..toned the canvas with orange since there were going to be a lot of blues..(complimentary)..and I always like a little of the canvas showing through..I've also placed  my darkest darks and my lightest lights as a road map to go by...in the next photo I'm starting to cover the canvas..it's important to get the canvas covered and work all over the canvas at once..not falling in love with any one spot or part of the whole...when a happy accident happens..i run with it..this will be going to my midland gallery in carmel next Tuesday.  I was able to work today since we're not having our family gathering until Saturday..tomorrow i'll get more organized for that but I wanted to say happy thanksgiving to everyone today!...we sure have a lot to be thankful for!
