Indian Red Blanket Wildflower Oil Painting

Indian Red Blanket Wildflower is the first painting I have finished since coming back from our trip to the Texas hill country.  Very fitting.  The painting is in oils on a 14x11 inch gallery wrap canvas with edges painted.  Does not include a frame.

The hill country was in full bloom with Blackeyed Susans mixed with the Indian Red Blankets.  The trip was a mix of work and vacation.  We did the Market Day at Hallettsville KC Hall on the third Saturday in May and then traveled on Sunday to Bandera, Texas and took the week off prior to the Bandera Funtier Days on the weekend.  We spent most of the time driving around the countryside taking pictures of wildlife and nature.  I renewed my energy for painting and couldn't wait until we got home to paint.

We stayed in our Wilderness Travel Trailer and had a great time.  I highly recommend the Old Spanish Trail Restaurant in Bandera and the Skyline RV Park.  We also visited the Art Galleries in Boerne and ate at the Bear Moon.  I gained a few pounds on this trip.


I hope you like the painting and will click the facebook icon to tell your friends about my blog. Your comments are welcome.

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.

Two Flamingos, Oil Painting 20x24

I finished "Two Flamingos" last week.  It is painted realistically on a 20x24 inch canvas.  It took about three months working on it along with other paintings in progress. I used a photo submitted by Lady Carol in the wetcanvas.com image library for artists as my reference.  Many thanks to her and wetcanvas.

I hope you like the painting.  Contact me if you are interested in purchasing it.
