Old Zion Road

Oil Painting Landscape Rural Arkansas Barn

Oil on hardboard, 8" x 10"

A large red shed is situated very close to a bend in the road on which it is located.  I really liked it in this light with the sun shining through the clouds after a rainfall.  The colors of the barn and field were brightly lit and glowing against the sky and the road in the foreground.

Harvest Bowl

Oil Painting Vegetable Art Still Life Produce Tomato

Oil on stretched canvas, 9" x 11".

An early harvest of home-grown tomatoes and peppers looked attractive in a blue and white bowl.  I loved the colors and arranging the cherry tomatoes.  Of course those little ones didn't always want to stay in their places.

Poppies with Blue Vase

Oil Painting Flowers Art Still Life Botanical Ceramic Rooster

Oil on stretched canvas, 20" x 16".

Still lifes can be challenging and adventurous.   I loved the red/orange poppies with the blue and white vase as the main characters of the painting.  The ceramic rooster added a touch of whimsy and gave the painting a unique feeling.  Lots of fun also.
