Apache

Crowing and strutting around the place, this rooster seemed to demand my attention. He lives at a roadside attraction called Fort Apache in Supply, NC. Words are hard to find that would describe this unique place. The owner, Dale Varnam, is the kindest person you could meet. Even Mike and Frank of the tv show "American Pickers" had to check it out for themselves!

Original painting is done with Georgian Water Mixable Oils. The painting is 9 X 12 on Canson art board.

Formed by Wind

Usually we keep our back to the sand dunes, pay little attention to them, until the water carves or takes them. As a kid, it was perfectly acceptable to climb and slide down the dunes. We thought they were as much fun as the water. Back in the day they were so much taller or were they really? Or was that just the perspective of a kid?

This is a 6 x 8 watercolor. It is a standard size and will easily fit in a standard size mat and frame. I used watercolor paper and MaimeriBlu paints.

Fluorescent Set

Wish all my sunsets were over water! Never ever tire of watching such an amazing display of color. This is a painting done with Daler-Rowney's  newest FW colors- a six pack of  fluorescent inks! This sunset is on Oak Island, NC and the painting is titled "Fluorescent Set". This is an original 20 x 14 watercolor.

Marsh and Sky





You are not suppose to stop on top of the bridge! If no one is coming you can go real slooooow and take a picture. Sometimes after a rainy day you can catch the most inspiring sunset over the bridge to Oak Island, NC. Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.

Java Jones




Acrylic paint and a palette knife. Must have changed my mind three times about the color of this cup. This is a small 8 X 10 I did especially to hang at The Flying Pig Coffee Shop across from the Food Lion in Oak Island, NC. They will have my pieces up for the month of May and June. Palette knife keeps it loose! Painted with Daler Rowney Acrylics on canvas.
