WOMAN AND CRANE

Painted for the Asian influence exhibit, Venice Art Center, FL. Found an old Japanese woodblock print on the internet. Unfortunately, don't know who artist was. Changed it around quite a bit. Learned how to fold an origami crane!

ROSE MARIE

Painted during the Portrait Studio at the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda, FL. Click on paintings for larger version.

SEA OATS BARN
oil
6" x 8"

Field study and finished painting. Yellow backhoe was there originally, then moved while I was painting. Added it later from photo reference and reworked entire painting. Whatever it takes to make a painting work. Like the way the sun hit the yellow backhoe and went through the barn boards inside the doorway. The interior window was a mirror inside the building. I turned it into a window to give the scene more depth.
