12″ x 9″ Oil on Panel
A plein air painting from Hurley Park in Salisbury. It was tweaked a bit in my studio. I find that I sometimes need to revisit a painting to adjust the values and colors to my liking.
Dauphin Island Sunset
18″ x 24″ Oil on Gallery Wrap with painted edges
Studio painting from a photo taken on the beach at Dauphin Island, Alabama.
Barn on Stirewalt Road
9″ x 12″ Oil on board
Plein air painting of an old barn and buildings near China Grove, NC.
The Sunflower Farm
6″ x 10″ Oil on board
The sunflowers are in bloom. When I went to the field a storm was approaching. So this is a small studio painting that will fit a barn wood frame that my father made.
Hydrangeas in Crystalline Pottery
24″ x 20″ Oil on Linen with painted edges
This is one of my favorite pieces of pottery with one of my favorite flowers.
Chandelle Farms Pond Reflections
11″ x 14″ Oil on Panel
This is my second painting for the NC Open Plein Air event in Salisbury. I was very happy that it received an Honorable Mention. Perhaps I should have called it “A Study in Green.”
Gold Hill Crepes
11″ x 14″ Oil on Panel
This is my Gold Hill painting for the NC Open Plein Air event last weekend. I tweaked it a bit in my studio this week adding more splashes of color. Gold Hill is a painter’s paradise about five minutes from my home.
Spencer Summer II
14″ x 11″ Oil on canvas panel
This is a studio painting. It was just to hot to paint on site so I took photos and worked from my computer monitor in my studio pretending to be on location. This was easier in the sense that the sunlight/shadows weren’t changing. Also I could take my time painting in air conditioning. However, I really do prefer to paint outside. Guess it is the challenge.
