Duckie and the Grackle Gallery, Lake Jackson, Texas

Don't miss the opportunity to see the "Duckie and the Grackle Gallery" located in Lake Jackson, Texas.  It is owned and operated by my artist friends: Cherie and Glenn McBride - Duckie and Grackle.

I visited their new art gallery today and was quickly taken in by the grand art works of nature and wildlife.  Duckie's style of painting is beautiful and striking.  Definitely not what you would expect to see.  Her subjects live in a vivid rush of color brought to life on canvas.  Cheri paints in the Gallery where the progress can be viewed.  Glenn is the Marketing Manager and, a composer, designer, and poet.   If you can't make it to their gallery, I encourage you to visit their web site:

Texas High Sky, Acrylic Painting

Texas High Sky was the second painting I worked on at the Burr Trade Days (See the prior post) and finished it in the studio.  It is also a 14x11 inch acrylic painting on a canvas hardboard.  This is no place in particular in Texas, just a place I imagined I like to go to.  Hope you like it.

Poppies in Blue Vase, Demo/Study

The Poppies in BlueVase painting is a freestyle painting I did for demonstration outdoors at the Burr, Texas Trade Days last weekend.  I paint at shows when possible to pass the time and customers like to see art in progress.

This painting was done without a reference and freely out of my imagination.  I don't mind people looking over my shoulder at the easel, as I can talk and paint at the same time.  After days of painting by myself in the studio, being able to talk with others about art is a real treat.  Especially with people wanting to learn to paint.  Who knows, maybe watching an old guy throw paint on a canvas might inspire them to give it a try.

The palette was:  Yellow ochre, Yellow Medium, Alizeran Crimson, Cad. Red, Prussan Blue, Black, White, Sap Green, Yellow Light, Unbleached White, some tidbit of Purple.
