Chocolate Covered Cherry daily painting

As a kid, for Christmas we gave my grandfather a box of chocolate covered cherries and a carton of Lucky Strike cigarettes every year. He said that's what he wanted. I still love chocolate covered cherries because they remind me of him. I don't think I'll be painting the cigarettes. 6"x 8" oil on canvas. Available at DailyPaintworks

"Cadillac Sky" daily painting

Today's little painting. Oil on canvas, 8"x 6"  SOLD  

"Fuzzy Dice 56" daily painting

This little devil took forever...three days, actually. Instead of a daily I'm going to call it a thraily. I could have painted a full-size watercolor in the same amount of time. Any of you who do miniatures have my deepest sympathies. Painting small is much harder than large. "Fuzzy Dice 56" oil on canvas, 6"x 8" This one is SOLD , but you can find others at DailyPaintworks

I just love the sunsets here. Can't paint them enough. "Sunset Reflections" 5"x 7" oil on Raymar panel. Available at Daily Paintworks

Etude #3 "Mountain Lake" daily painting

This place was a beautiful lake alongside a bike path in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. I rode 60 miles in two days along this path. It's called the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bike path and follows the Union Pacific Railroad's right-of-way. What a beautiful trip. "Mountain Lake" 5" x 7" on Raymar panel. Available at Daily Paintworks

"Sunset Palms" daily painting

The latest in my series of little landscape studies. I have so many ideas for paintings in my head. It's so nice to be able to get them quickly on paper...or in this case, panel...and still have time to work on larger pieces each day. "Sunset Palms" oil on Raymar panel 7"x 5"   SOLD  Click HERE to work a jigsaw puzzle of this piece.

"Deserted Isle" daily painting

The art of fun....or should it be.... the fun of art. I'm trying something completely different. I bought a ton of little 5" x 7" Raymar panels and am trying some quick studies. Since I took 7 years of French I'm going to call them etudes. All those lessons finally put to some use. For this landscape I used very liquid washes of oil and really enjoyed the freedom. Just made the scene up and called it quits after 20 minutes. Using a small panel instead of a stretched canvas removes some of the angst of feeling that you have to create a detailed masterpiece every time. This was very relaxing and satisfying.
