Landscape Painting Original Acrylic Trees in Summer

"Tree Lined"

18x18 on cradled wood

In My Etsy Store $350

This painting is an adapted view from my back yard,

This painting is painted on cradled wood. These are a real pain in the butt to make, but I really like the feel of painting on wood, plus they look really nice. I cut and sand the wood(Masonite),cut and build a frame from 1 1/2 in wood strips. Then I glue the wood to the frame. Gesso and sand it 3 times, hey I'm ready to paint. It looks like gallery wrap except it's all wood.

Animal Painting Musical Horse,Cow,Sheep,Pig, Rooster, Animals-Country Music

"The Country Band"

7x10 Print

In My Etsy Store

Okay, so I probably caught you off guard with this one, it is quite a bit different compared to some of my work. It's a painting I did a few year ago when I was doing a lot of musical themed painting. But it's still a funny painting.

I have been selling only original paintings for the past 10 years, but alas the economy has forced me to start making prints again. I have been going at it with a vengence. I have come out with over 30 prints this past year.
