Near the Falls, Original Oil on Canvas, 8x10

There is nothing like painting while sitting on a rock by a stream with the peaceful sound of the water trickling by. A few yards downstream this becomes a surprisingly big waterfall.

I love flowers all kinds. It is so beautiful when they are frolicking together in a field like this.

Grapes are so versatile. Look what we get from them: grape jelly, grape jam, grape juice, vinegar, wine, and raisins; and of course they are delicious just as depicted here.

A Travel Zine for my Sister

It is thanks to my sister that I have traveled so many places and walked so many miles. We have never had a cross word, but we have on occasion laughed until we cried. I made her this little Zine for her birthday, and it brought many happy memories.

 

 

Studebaker Trucks

 

 I saw these old trucks when visiting friends in Crawford County, Indiana, a place which is pure Americana. It has rolling hills, forests, the Ohio River, rusting vehicles, and very nice people. It also has a vibrant arts scene, I'm happy to say.

My First Zine

A Zine is a tiny little book made from one sheet of paper. This is my first one,4 1/4 inches high.

For some reason this video continues into the latest one I have posted on YouTube, an award event for a friend. ?

Renaissance Fair, 12 x 12 Original Oil Painting

 

Buy on Etsy

This is a scene from the colorful Renaissance Fair in Brevard County, Florida. I love seeing the costumes, and two standout events were a rock 'n roll bagpiper and a dance around the Maypole. Not just a traditional dance; you haven't lived until you've seen Renaissance characters in costume do the Chicken Dance.
