Yaquina Bay Bridge - 16X20 Acrylic

This is a typical foggy day on the Oregon coast at Newport.  This painting was based on a photograph I took there several years ago.

Paintings from the San Diego Zoo

 A few weeks ago we visited San Diego Zoo.  These are the first three paintings based on what we saw.  Eventually I hope to make five more paintings.  The orangutang and elephant pictures are 16X20 acrylic paintings.  The lion is an 18X24 oil painting.  

"I see You" - 16X20 Acrylic Painting

I have a large collection of old graphic and graflex cameras (as well as other brands) so it was just a matter of time before one appeared in a painting.  The pug is Ping who always gets into the act.  I will probably do more paintings featuring my cameras.

Yachats Sunset

We often visit Yachats on the Oregon coast and stay at a motel with this view from our window.  This is a 16X20 acrylic painting.

"The Bull Market" 22X28 Oil

This is a commissioned painting of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange.

"Birdseye View" Benton County Courthouse

Another new vantage point for the Benton County Courthouse.  This is a 16X20 acrylic painting, painted while hanging on to the flagpole.  Some people see this as a Dr Seuss hat on an owl.

Bugs at Mary's Peak

This is a 16X20 acrylic painting which will be part of my favorite things collection.  My first and third cars were VW Beetles.

Laura at Open Studio - Acrylic

This is the second painting that I completed at Open Studio.  It is a 16X20 acrylic painting.  I could not have done this in oil due to the drying time required.  Maybe when I have more experience I will try it in oil.
The first was a nude painting of another model.

Trio in Acrylic

This is a whimsical depiction of a trumpet, an accordion and a clarinet.  It is a 16X20 acrylic painting.
