Happy Days - Soda Fountain - 16X20 Oil Painting

This soda fountain in Independence, OR has been gone for a number of years now. I took many pictures of it for the owner prior to the closing.

The Miniature Horse Farm- 12X16 Oil Painting

These horses are no more that 34 inches high. To illustrate this I had to place the horse in front of a pickup truck.

This was painted almost entirely with a palette knife. 

Philomath College - 16X20 Oil Painting

This is a new 16X20 version in oil of an older watercolor painting. I painted it entirely with only yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson and white. No need for all those other colors. The building is the old Philomath College, now the Benton County Historical Society.

Coquille Point near Bandon, OR -16X20 Oil Painting

This is a new painting based on a scene from a smaller previous painting.

Yosemite Falls - 12X16 Oil Painting

It was a very wet year at Yosemite and the falls were in their full glory.

Two Oil Paintings from Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

These 12X16 paintings were started during our recent paint out at Silver Falls which is near Silverton.  The first is the Lodge and the second is a bridge near South Falls.

Out To Pasture - 16X20 Oil Painting

I have always been interested in one of the old tractors at the Detering Nursery named "Little Putt-Putt".  This is my latest painting featuring this tractor.  I call it "Out to Pasture".

Ford Wonkster Front End - 20X24 Oil Painting

I just completed a second Ford Wonkster painting, this time a frontal view.  I plan to show both at the August 6 Clothesline Sale of Art in Corvallis on the Courthouse Lawn.

Ford Wonkster - 20X24 Oil Painting

I was at the Philomath car show last week and saw this really nice 1929 Ford Roadster.  I always wanted one of these.  So I now have the next best thing, and it needs no maintenance or insurance, maybe just some more oil.

Mirror Lake, Yosemite

Another view of Mirror Lake in Yosemite.  It is a 9X12 oil painting completed almost entirely with a painting knife.

Datura "Metal Black" -12X16 Oil Painting

Last week our paint-out was at the Thyme Garden Nursery where I planned to paint Thyme.  Unfortunately Thyme is so small that I had a hard time even seeing it much less developing a composition.  So I went into the greenhouse and painted something more substantial.

Sunrise at Mirror Lake, Yosemite NP

This is a 16X20 Oil Painting based on photos taken at Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley.  We rode our bikes to the lake every morning during our stay in the valley.
