"Spouting Off"

"Spouting Off" oil on canvas board 8"x10", price $245.00

Really the main reason I have a rooster is because they are cool looking, and maybe if he does his job, he could do half of what it takes to make baby chicks. I think it would be really cool to have one of my 6 hens decide to hatch some eggs. The first rooster we had given to us was very beautiful but also very large, loud, and mean (see below). This guy (above) was given to us (I am amazed, well not really, how many people would love to give away their rooster) we do like that his crow is quiet enough that it does not wake us up at 4 in the morning. He is actually smaller than all our hens, so I don't think he can even do what roosters really want to do. He is getting mean, and attacks me alot, and he gets kicked whenever he comes and tries to get me. I wish I could get a hold of a big beautiful, quiet and sweet rooster, if that were possible. See my paintworks gallery for info on purchasing the painting.

"Five Window Chevy"

"Red 5-window Chevy" Watercolor, 7"x10", Price $245.00

I was out for a country drive with my wife the other day. We had to deliver my broken table saw motor to a shop in Troy Idaho. I am always on the look out for things to paint. we came across this old 5 window chevy truck, and I stopped to snap a few quick shots. One of them I decided to paint. I painted it today while I sat in m booth at an art show in Lewiston Idaho. They have the dogwood festival this time of April every Year. If you are in the area, stop by. There is some pretty neat art there. See the photo below that I worked from. The original truck photo was kind of a funky orange color. I thought a more red color would work better in the painting contrasting better with the grass and green trees. for purchasing info of the original painting, click here to visit my daily paintworks gallery. to buy a print of this image, click to visit my etsy store. 

"Almost Tulip Time"

"Skagit Valley Afternoon" watercolor, 8x12, $245.00

Original No Longer Availabale

I will never forget the first time I visited the Skagit Valley north of Seattle, WA. I went to partake of the Tulip Festival. I sold some art there and in the morning and afternoons, I would sneak out and catch the sun on the tulips in the fields. Some of the fields were so stunning in colors of tulips It was almost fake. I took so many photos. If you have never been, you need to go, watch the website they have and go when the tulips are in bloom. It is quite a site to see. In 2009 I had the honor of painting the official Skagit Valley tulip festival Poster, I featured my son in the poster picking tulips, and we both got to go and sign the poster together, it was pretty neat. see the poster below. If you want to buy a poster from me see my website.
