The Evening Meal, oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches. I painted this from a photo I took at my dad's farm. It is a peaceful, beautiful place. I hope, when you see this, that you can feel the peace.

July Morning
July Morning, plein air, oil on canvas on panel, 12 x 9 inches. This is another park painting, but I used "artistic license" to add water where there was no water. It was a beautiful morning to be painting in the Grace Dunn Richardson Park.

The Path
The Path, plein air, palette knife painting, oil on panel, 5 x 7 inches. I was so mesmerized by the beauty of the morning that I painted a second scene in Herty Park. There was no one else around except for one man who walked on that path while we painted. It was such a pleasant place.

Herty Park
Herty Park, plein air, oil on canvas on panel, 12 x 16 inches. The weather was perfect this morning as we painted another park in Lufkin. Herty Park is hidden in a neighborhood. You would never find it if you weren't looking for it. It's a beautiful, quiet place. I loved the 8:00 am shadows and had to work quickly to establish the shadow pattern before it changed.

Watercolor Sketches
Wildflowers, watercolor on paper, 9 x 12 inches. Sketching with watercolors is always fun and relaxing. I love oil paints, but using watercolors to sketch is very freeing (is that a word?).
Spring Flowers, watercolor on paper, 12 x 9 inches. I worked quickly on this one to get a fresh, painterly look.
