IN MY SISTER'S ARMS



11x14 oil on canvas nfs
I am hesitant to post portraits because I am not a portrait artist; however, I do want to learn, so what better way to learn. In My Sister's Arms was painted for our friend, Jay Abney's 50th birthday. Jay has been to Chad, Africa several times to help with an ongoing building project on a church and school. He gave me many reference photos to choose from, but I kept coming back to these two little girls because they were especially meaningful to him. Happy Birthday Jay.

PATHWAY #2


8x16 oil on canvas board
Here is another vertical composition of a shady pathway. 

MR. LAGNEAUX'S CREEK


8x16 oil on canvas board
Once again another vertical landscape. In an earlier post, I posted a painting I did of an Angus bull from Mr. Lagneaux's cattle farm in Lafayette, LA. We spent a bit of time photographing his beautiful herd of Angus, then set up and did a little plein air painting. As we were leaving his farm, we discovered this beautiful, shady creek alive with all kinds of plants, birds, and toads. Enjoy.
