255 Cat - Morning Sun

A bit perturbed by the obnoxious clicking of the camera shutter, the cat lifts his head to stare with disapproval at this disturbance to his early morning nap.

250 A Granddaughter

I found a photograph of a beautiful baby girl amongst my portrait artist wife Theresa files. A lot of fun to paint but boy, are those subtle colours and values tricky to paint. Not some craggy old sea captain with chiselled features, dark shadow and obvious lines. Just minute changes in color temperature and slight darkening or lightening to capture that smooth baby face.

249 A Horse Portrait

Today's painting is a commissioned portrait. My client had some very nice photos, including some nice head shots, but the look she liked best was from a full body photograph.

248 Brownie

Brownie is one of the dogs from the Blowing Rock Horse Show that I painted this year. My client said that when he looks at her husband, the his ears drop and a look of pure adoration is in his eyes. So we ended up with a painting focusing in on the eyes with enough space to show the lowered ears.

245 Dexter

This portrait of Dexter is one of three Jack Russell Terriers. The client decided that three individual portraits at this size would be more flexible than one larger painting. When they get another dog(s), adding it's portrait to the collection a simple task. "Stay tuned" for Trooper and Barkley.

244 Tropical Cruise

Another DayDream/Wishful Thinking painting. Though I was sitting indoors at the NCHJA Horse Show, working in a hot, dusty environment, there is no law that says I have to be there both physically and mentally. Somewhere inside I was on a schooner, leaving a tropical island heading off into a new adventure. I am thinking a nice breeze, a cool drink, my hand on the helm - no, let someone else worry about that-lay back on the deck, look up at the sails and watch the clouds pass by.

Don't you think that this would be a great painting to have on your desk at work?

243 Deep Run Fox

This painting is name Deep Run Fox for two reasons. One the fox head is similar to that of the logo of the Deep Run Hunt Club. The second is that it was painted while at the Deep Run Horse Show which is held at the Hunt Club. I am especially pleased with the eyes.

242 Oriental Yacht Club

You can't put on too many airs when your yacht club is sited next to the fish house and shrimp boats. The Oriental Yacht Club is not exclusively for sailors of Asian heritage, it's name comes from the town of Oriental, NC which in turn got it's name from a ship's nameboard with "Oriental" on it that washed up on the shore. A beautiful summer's day on the Pamlico Sound, no rain, wind or thunderstorms that afternoon.

240 The Wine Wall

A slight turn off of Laurel Dr in Blowing Rock NC will bring you to "The Wall" overlooking the John's River Gorge. Just stop by after the horse show before heading off to dinner or a party. Or just sit and watch the light move across the hollows and ridges as the sun moves across the sky.

239 Sunday Under the Oaks

A beautiful Sunday afternoon in Spring. A free concert outdoors. An new amphitheater, with wide terraced grass tiers, stone walls and walkways. But it seems empty. Off to the sides under the old oak trees of the homestead turned park are the crowds. So this was painted standing in the open looking back to everyone enjoying the shade.

The First One Hundred

Scolling through two hundred and forty posts to find a painting seems like a lot to ask of you. I have created a page on my website with thumbnails of the first one hundred paintings. Each thumbnail is a link to the original blog post and you can see which paintings are sold and which ones are still available.

Funny thing is that it seems like only yesterday I was painting number one.

236 First Radish

We got the vegetable garden in back before Easter. Squash is up, one hill of cucumbers, sunflowers are almost a foot tall. Green beans are just about to reach their trellis. The basils, parsleys and chives in the herb garden are providing us with fresh herbs. But most the most important plant in the garden is the radish. Matures in three weeks. The first food from the garden. Here is the first radish of the season.
