Chandler Road Field OPA290

Last Saturday, Millie Gosch hosted the first ever OPA Paint Out in the state of Georgia. It was great fun! Here is the first painting from early that morning.

Tomatoes on Green 284

Wanted to get one more daily painting in before we left for the OPA Eastern Region Show in Wilmington, NC this past weekend. Got back late Sunday night, so as soon as I get these up, finish my cartoons for the Monday deadline, I will download the video and pics from the weekend to share!

Mt. Carmel Revisited 283

Can't get enough of this subject. I really like the colors in this one better than in any other. They harmonies are perfect.

Stand of Pines in Warm Yellows and Pinks 258

Being here at the beach has given me some great colors to play with in this series.

Galveston Shutter 257

Sometimes you just need to play. I wish this had turned out the way I had envisioned it, but that just doesn't always happen...

Three Peaches on Green 254

The county where I live in Georgia, Meriwether, is the second poorest county in the state and as far as I know, the number one or two producer of the best peaches in the world. There are 3 peach orchards with 10 miles of us. A couple of which are several generations old. If you have never had a true Georgia peach, you have yet to live. They are fuZZy, soft, sweet and about the siZe of your fist. None of those puny little peaches around here. One thing we do down here is keep up with the local produce. We have peaches everywhere. I plan on painting them until I can paint them no more.

Two On, Two Off 253

Trying to get my rhythm going. Life has been a bit hectic and I mow 3 acres with a push mower. I have 4 days to myself to paint, paint and paint some more. It was really hard to get it back together for this, took me all day to work up the nerve.
