"SPACE STATION IV"

"DETAILS - SPACE STATION IV"



I wanted to paint this image a lot larger than I have ever attempted before. 
It was a painting quest - I enjoyed the process and the outcome. 
Thanks for looking.

"JUSTICE"

"ROUTT COUNTY COURTHOUSE"
6" X 6"
Downtown Steamboat Springs has changed quite a bit but one thing remains constant
 The Courthouse.
I love this building. The front doors are 3" thick. 
 The classic architecture is truly appreciated along with the history and sense of place.
 Remember when the jail was in the basement???
The times they are a changing.
Thanks for looking.

We are praying for snow!
I rode my bike twice this week and that's not a good thing
in the scheme of things. 
Thanks for looking.

"SCHRAGE'S PUMPKIN TRUCK"

"1937 DIAMOND T"
Rod Schrage owns this truck and parks it in front of his business
for various holidays. I talked to him about the truck and found out that
this truck has been in Routt County since it was new. It was originally
a forest service truck. It has had three owners all locals since its
days in the forests of Routt County. Quite a lot of history behind this vehicle
and for Rod some great memories. 
Thanks for looking.

First Friday is tonight - February 6th
At the Depot
I plan to do a painting demo if you're in town 
between 5 - 7(first friday goes till 8)stop on by.
I bought a new guerilla painter pochade box that I'm going to
give a whirl. See if it works and what I need to change.
Have a great weekend wherever you are!
Thanks for taking a look.

It will be showing at the gallery for February.
Thanks!

The Valentine is nothing a normal person would paint.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

"THE USUAL SUSPECTS"

"THE USUAL SUSPECTS"
8"H X 30"W
OIL ON PANEL
I painted this for the Palette show at the Steamboat Springs Arts council.
I don't know if it will get in but it was painted specifically for  the show.
The piece is suppose to have taste, texture, sound and smell.
I figured those little pez dispensers would make some sound - the wrappers for touch 
the candy for taste and smell. 
Not sure if it will qualify but it sure was fun to paint.
COMIC RELIEF IN THE ARTS!


"PEZ A DAY #6"

"REX"

PEZ A DAY #5"

"WOODY"

PEZ A DAY #3"

"SUPERMAN"

"PEZ A DAY #2"

            
"HELLO KITTY"







"PEZ A DAY #1"

This is the first installment on a large painting.
It was still wet - I couldn't get good photo shots so this will 
have to do for now. I'm kind of excited about this piece
it's suppose to offer some "comic relief" in the arts.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
