Diane in the Sudan

This is a painting of a great friend who just spent 10 tumultuous, but highly rewarding, days in the Sudan on another mission trip.  She and the mission organization called e3 Partners witnessed to countless Sudanese and brought many to Jesus baptizing many and starting a church.  I'm so proud of her courage!  She sent me this photo when she got back and said, "This is the backpack I wish I could've brought home!"  After a show I'm having on August 18, I will mail this little painting to her as a surprise!  Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Commision

This is one of two paintings of 3 brothers that I've been working on for a while off and on.  These were part of the Dodge Nature Center's Fall gala where I was the featured artist offering a "loose landscape portrait" in the live auction.  I shot photos of the boys, and we decided to use photos that included two in one painting and one in the other painting.  They were fun to paint!

No Burger, Just FRYES!

This is my daily exercise today!  I am a SERIOUS LOVER of Frye boots!  These are Frye's Campus boot popularized in the 60s and 70s.  These are mine.  I own several pair of Fryes and love them all for look, comfort, fit and just for the overall feeling of fashion the never goes out of style and support of a great American shoe maker since 1863 when John A. Frye founded the company.  It's the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States.  OK, more about the painting.  Loved mixing all the oranges, browns, yellows and giving a hint of the daylight from the windows above them (not seen here, of course).  Trying to stay loose.  Fun little study!

Winter Cardinal

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Back at the easel this cold, Sunday afternoon, and it feels GREAT!!!  Am shooting to paint almost daily as an exercise, at least, and that's how I approached this painting.  Wanted to achieve somewhat of an abstract quality with the relatively described cardinal.  Used sharpie, brushes, and palette knife!  Fun!  I'm BACK!
