Booth Western Art Museum

Chuck Wagon Cookoff 18 x 24 Oil

This is a painting that I painted to enter in the members show at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. It was painted from a series of photos that I took at the Museum when they had their 7th Southeastern Cowboy Gathering in March. They had several teams competing to see who had the best chuck wagon food. There was a wealth of colorful characters dressed in period clothing and so many really great things attached to the chuck wagons. The Booth is a wonderful museum and it is my favorite place to get the creative juices going.

Containers - 8 x 10 Oil on Linen Panel

Bird's Nest Invitational

Still Life Paintings

Lemon Trio 8 x 10 Oil

This is one of a series of fruit and vegetable still life paintings that I painted for Corse Gallery in Jacksonville, Florida over the last couple of months. I finally added retouch varnish, framed and shipped them this week. I will be a guest artist in their gallery for the next several months. Painting these small still life paintings has been a lot of fun and they will become a greater portion of my output this year. I am now painting some larger ones while the weather is not conducive to plein air painting. April and May are pretty full with several plein air paint outs.
