Tuscan Painting - Chiesa di San Biagio

We were driving to the train station at Chiusi to meet Papa when as we turned in a wide sweeping bend in the road near Montepulciano a beautiful white colored church suddenly comes into view. We didn't have time to stop that day to visit nor take photos. I regreted not having the time to visit nor learn about the church. The following year as we made our plans to drive from the Dolomites to Pescara, we made a point to stay in Tuscany again so that I could visit this

beautiful Renaisance church sitting in the shadows of Montepulciano. Chiesa di San Biagio.

Oil on board, 6" x 8".

Friends who talk about ART

Yesterday Nancy, Kim and I met at Fil's house to talk about art, projects we're working on, how to take good photos, how our past exhibits went, etc.

It was nice getting a "tour" of Fil's studio. She is so very organized that I realize that I have much to do. She's an inspiration!

Thank you, Fil, for hosting our little get-together, lunch, inspiration and canvas!!

Painting of a Bed

A contemporary bedroom. The lights above were bathing the pillows in warmth, making the white linen a little yellow. A simple bed, almost masculine in it's simplicity, modern and yet, quite inviting.

"Alone Tonight" 6 x 6 inches on gessoed masonite board.

Summer and an Adirondack Chair

With temperatures nearing record highs this past week in my area - Summer is making it's presence felt...

After the lawn is mowed why not just take a glass of iced lemonade and sit in an Adirondack Chair and listen to the cicadas chirp?

"Summer" 5 x 7 inches on board.

Arboretum Plein Air

Monday morning I went with fellow artist Barbara Woods to the Dallas Arboretum to find something to paint for their May Paint-Out. There are so many beautiful scenes it is almost a little too overwhelming. It would have been nice to take a visit a day before to scope out the place and get a feel for what to paint.

After walking around a bit both Barbara and I set up our easels in front of the DeGolyer Home and painted the door. I love doors so it was appropriate, I felt although the painting does not feature a lot of flowers.

So I did a second painting of a trio of pots that were near the Cafe along the walkway the lead to the DeGolyer Home. The combination of white, read and blue flowerpots were beautiful. It was full of Geraniums and Petunias.

Are We There Yet?

The Pointer Sisters went with us on our vacation through Colorado, Utah and Southern California.

Secret Garden or My Painting of a Fountain

This is the painting that came from painting in my garden a couple of weeks ago. It's a small 8x10 inches oil on stretched canvas painting of a fountain. Although I've signed it, I think I am going to work on this one a little more. I've been away from painting for a couple of weeks. When I walked into my studio this morning I was anxious to post this on my blog but as I was preparing it, I see "things" that still need work.

I missed painting.....
