(click here to view this painting)

SOLD
For some reason the tarp over half the broken windshield with the hub cap on top looked like a hoodie with a hat. This is my grandson Quinten's long awaited for project. He's in seventh heaven. I'll have to paint a portrait when it's up and running. Good luck Quinten.

Smith Rock State Park Sagebrush

(click here to buy painting)

$75
This is the eastern ridge of Smith Rock State Park. The pathways have an abundant supply of sagebrush which always looks so exotic to this Willamette Valley artist. Don't you love the color?

Terrebonne Hiking

$75
I have family members that live in beautiful Terrebonne, Oregon, across the road from Smith Rock State Park. Climbers come from all over the world to test their skills on these rocks(click here to buy this painting). The view in this painting is the back side of the rocks.

The Sky is Falling

The Sky is Falling, 6x6, oil on panel, SOLD

It's no wonder that these little chicks might think the sky is falling. Their three predecessors did have the sky fall on them in the form of a great big hawk that swooped down from the sky! This trio is thriving under the daily care and watchful eyes of my two very capable grandsons.

Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive, Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Alive

SOLD
This rooster started prancing back and forth, right in front of me. Suddenly he started looking like John Travolta and the chorus "Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive, Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Alive," started ringing through my head.

Don't they look like great pals? Just hanging out together. Which is a great idea because their names are at the end of the alphabet so they'll be at the end of the line.

'Tween Tulip

SOLD
The parade continues with a series of tulips. The first one seems to have turned her hearing off—just like a kid in the 'tween stage!

My Mom loved spring time and especially daffodils. This one celebrates every one of the 90 springs she enjoyed to the fullest. This one is for you Mom.

Two's a Crowd

SOLD
Two's a crowd and this is the second in my daffodil series. My spirits always lift a bit when the daffodils start to bloom. Alas, they only hang around for a few weeks until the tulips come to town.

Blue Monday Lemon

$55
I couldn't resist painting this Meyers blue label lemon. Between the blue label and the bitter lemon I decided it had to be a blue Monday.

Sunday Morning Cheerfulness

$75
Daffodils make me smile, from the inside. You know that sunshine in on the way, and all the other flowers are lining up for the parade. That's what I call happiness.

Purple Onion Upstarts

$55
These were such beautiful little purple onion starts that I couldn't resist painting them. One was so eager to get started that it couldn't resist sprouting. I think spring has sprung.

Nana Nana Fo Fana

$95
Remember that old song—The Name Game? For some reason that song was going through my head while I painted this study of bananas. And, then it got stuck in my brain and rattled around between my ears for the next week! It was fun painting bananas though.

Upstaged by Cutie, Again!

SOLD
Doesn't she look like a Rock Star with arms outstretched in the ultimate embrace of the audience?

By the way Carol Marine, thanks for giving me the daily painting bug—I'm having so much fun!

Welcome

Join me on my daily painting journey. I'm excited about this new artistic path of finishing a painting every day — or just about every day. With the small paintings, usually 6x6 inches, the end product can be viewed and admired, or judged, the same day.

I'll be posting my blog and then auctioning the paintings on the Daily Paintworks website.
