My Home on the Kitchen Table

My Home on the Kitchen Table
That red thing? Is that a fish? If it is then surely it needs some water. Water
means life and I feel sorry for that little thing just laying there outside the safety of the bowl.
Oh Well! I will just mind my own business right here in
My Home on the Kitchen Table.

I had such a fun time painting this. Another one that made me smile.

in any any situation with an enemy. Oh well maybe we can get out soon.

A Kinder Sort of Life

A Kinder Sort of Life
Some people live in such a hurried life never stopping to enjoy the
good things. I hear of a place where people aren't bothered by the
worry of if the lights go out or if gas prices increase. A place where people just
live, love and share the essence of themselves.

You Were Almost Mine



You Were Almost Mine
I found this little creature for sale at our local ROSS store. He was
a little metal owl sitting on a limb. It was love at first sight but what would I do with 
something like that? Soooo... I whipped out my iphone and took pictures and now
you get to see him. See why I loved him. He was just so cute.

What Am I Doing Here

What Am I Doing Here
I just could not miss the lightbulb challenge at DPW. I absolutely enjoyed
painting this... Deciding where to put the red hints of interest and where not to add them I shall say.
I just couldn't resist adding the christmas light and as an after thought added the lone berry.

Today I Go Shrimping

Today I Go Shrimping
I love that mist filled air where shrimp boats gather. I can remember the heavy salty air at Bayou La Batre,Al
a little fishing town on the gulf coast. My uncle Robert owned a shrimp boat there named the Morning Star. I think of him as I paint this.

Stealing The Show

Stealing The Show
Sunflowers should be called Yellow smiles because
everytime I see them I smile. I see them planted next to the road with
their tall heads beaming. Reaching, reaching for the sun. Beautiful with
their big yellow heads. None can compare to the beauty as they sway in
the summer breeze and leave behing their large brown seeds sending forth
life for then next coming crop.

Mill Iron Ranch

Mill Iron Ranch
There is a place out west called the Mill Iron Ranch. It is located at Jackson Hole Wyoming.
I will say it holds one of my favorite memories ever. We went for a sleigh ride and steak dinner and it
was well worth it. One of the things in life that I would love to do again. We rode around on a horse pulled 
sleigh and viewed elk galore. The dinner was wonderful and the company even among strangers was something to remember. If you are ever out that way do yourself a favor and visit this ranch. You are sure to love it. This is the owner Chancy Wheeldon. Such a photogenic person. 
I painted this is acrylic and was never completely satisfied with it so I re worked it. It is one of those
paintings that is so much nicer in person. 20x16 mixed media.
