"HONEY"

This image is from Sunset Happy Hour up at

the top of the Gondola in Steamboat Springs.

I think she's giving out free samples of Honey

flavored whiskey hence the title.

I'm working on some bigger paintings so it may be

awhile before you see any progress.

Have a great weekend and thanks for following I appreciate

you taking a look!

"DQ"

This is the Dairy Queen in Sidney, NE.

I've included the reference photo below

"SUNSET - GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE"

This is the last one in the California series for now. 

I'd love to paint some large ocean scenes 

I  have to find a market for that specific imagery.

Steamboat visitors want Steamboat all the time every time.

Gotta get back to the local stuff for awhile. 

That's life - I can't complain.

I'm lucky I get to paint and I have a great studio to spend my days.

"GOLDEN GATE"

OK so maybe it doesn't look like the Golden Gate Bridge.

I have all of these California paintings from last weeks posts

up at the CVA Gallery in Steamboat Springs, CO

and someone asked me where these paintings were from???!!

Don't get out much!!

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Thanks for looking

This San Francisco Series will be at The Center for Visual Arts

for the month of August and maybe September.

Details below.

I painted a small Chinatown a couple of years ago and really

felt a need to make it larger. If you get a chance stop in the

CVA to see it, it doesn't photograph well because of it's odd dimensions.

300.00

These paintings are all at the CVA in Steamboat Springs, CO.

for the month of August.

We were at Arroyo Burro Beach(Santa Barbara, Ca) while vacationing.

This beach allows dogs to run free so we take our Corgi's for some

beach time it's a great time and we meet the nicest people. 

Anyway these two beach goers had a bag

full of frozen cocktails and appetizers to enjoy their sunset at the beach.

They knew how to party!

You could tell they were really good friends and that they enjoyed this ritual immensely.

Gotta love it!

I didn't see a phone once - just good company and conversation. 

That's the way to do it.

Thanks for hanging in there and have a great weekend!

"MINNEAPOLIS SKYLINE"

DEMO PAINTING FIRST FRIDAY

AUGUST 7TH

Thanks to everyone Harwigs was a fun night. 

I received so many great e-mails from friends before the show 

and so many friends showed up for the event. It made my day!

THANKS

This skyline painting started a lot of conversations 

of course there was the standing joke that that's not a painting of

the Steamboat skyline - I don't think Steamboat has a skyline.

  You know what my response was????!!!!

It turned out a large number of visitors and residents were from Minneapolis. 

It made for a fun time but the painting suffered from all the distractions.

It is just a study after all and I may paint it bigger at a later date.

Really - thanks to everyone far and near I appreciate all the support.

"NO VACANCY"

OK - alright already.

 I truly love this scene and needed to paint

another one for the gallery for July to replace the one that just sold. 

10"h X 16"w

I'm ready to roll. The show is up at HARWIGS - yeah!

It's great to see everything up in one place because sometimes, most times

I wonder what the heck I've been up to and then it all becomes clear.

I've been busy.

Sorry the posts have been few and far between 

Turned out I was overwhelmed and it really got the best of me.

Hope to get on track next week.

Thanks for hanging in there!
