"Old Tree in Smokey Mountains" 8" x 8" acrylic
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
Here's an old tree that I saw on a trail in the Smokey Mountains last summer. I was digging through some photos I took and this one jumped out at me so I had to paint it. This painting is acrylic on canvas panel.
ENJOY!

"Trees in Summer" 8" x 10" acrylic
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
I wanted to loosen up on this and explore the use of more color. If you look close there's some blues, purples and other colors splashed throughout. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out. This one is an 8" x 10" acrylic on canvas panel. I think I'm going to try to go larger on some of these landscape paintings too.
ENJOY!

"Holed It" 8" x 8" graphite
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
Here's another trompe l'oeil drawing. I really enjoyed doing this one. Is "holed it" what's happening with the golf ball or what I did to the picture?
ENJOY!

"Mango" 4" x 4" oil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This is the first mango I've ever painted. Not sure why I haven't painted one of these before. I really like all of the different colors in this. You'll probably see more of these from me.
ENJOY!

Here's a bosc pear in a wood box. I love the warm colors of this pear. I spashed some of the pear colors in the wood to tie it all together.

"Clear Marble no. 3" 4" x 4" oil SOLD
SOLD
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
This post is showing two different paintings of the same subject. One is a 4" x 4" oil on hardboard(straight on image) and the other is a micro painting on a wood block(the other two images). I'm offering these two together on ebay. The micro painting is a nice compliment to the larger painting.
About the micro painting: This is a micro painting on a wood block. It is intended to be displayed on a table, desk or wall shelf. This art is different than other art you may purchase. This is intended to be picked up and held to get a better look. It's a great conversation piece and a nice compliment to the larger painting. All sides are painted in a corresponding color and it is protected with clear coating for durability.

"Clear Marble and Glass" 20" x 16" oil SOLD
SOLD
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
Here's an oil painting done in black and white. It's quite a bit larger than most of the paintings I do. It's a 20" x 16" oil on canvas. It was kind of fun to get the bigger brushes out.
ENJOY!

"Pepsi Can" micro art 1" x 1" acrylic on wood
Here's a piece of "micro" art. It is an acrylic painting on a 1" square wood block. I've included a quarter in one of the photos for size reference so you can see how small this actually is. This art is different than other art in that this is intended to be picked up and looked at. It can be displayed on a table, desk or wall shelf. It's a great conversation piece. It is painted on all sides and protected with a clear finish for durability.
ENJOY!

"Three Kisses" 5" x 7" graphite pencil
(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.
Here's a pencil drawing of three kisses. I tried to show some depth in this by keeping the kisses in the background at varying degrees of focus. I found it's harder than you think by drawing items out of focus.
ENJOY!

SOLD

I'm liking the trompe l'oeil thing right now so I thought I'd try one in a painting. This one is in acrylic on board. It took a while to complete and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
