Arts in the Park, Danville, Illinois June 23rd and 24th.

Thanks to everyone that came out and saw me at Art in the Park. This is my home town show and it means a lot to have friends and family come out and support me! 

Hay Barn, Flurries at dusk. Acrylic 16 X 20.

I completed this picture in just a few sittings. There are some wonderful old barns on the trip between Cayuga and Georgetown Illinois. The hay barn above is one of those barns. I'm doing a little practice with this picture trying to decide what kind of mood, techniques I'm going to use on a much bigger piece of a large overgrown field, with two of these old beauties that I want to capture before they fall apart. Most barns these days are Aluminum, and so as they age don't have the beauty the barns built of wood.   

Fall River Bend - Acrylic 22 X 24

This is a commission piece for someone who has been very patient. I finally got some effects working the way that I want them to. This is the back side of my property in Western Indiana along the Little Vermillion River. During Hunting season this year, I saw a pair of juvenile Bald Eagles roosting the point just around this bend. It is a beautiful place to be on a crisp fall morning.  

Fall River Bend - Prototype

This is a prototype for a commission piece I've been working on since last fall. This is a bend in the river on an October morning on the Little Vermillion in Indiana. More to come. 

This is for the man at the Zionsville show, who asked if I have done waterfowl.

Circa 1998 painting of a Wood Duck. Since I am a deer hunter, I don't paint ducks often but have done a couple of commissions for people. If your interested, let me know.
