The painting is of a tornado, if you haven't guess already, done in oil on a 8X10 masonite board. I was trying to show the power, strength, and danger of a Kansas.

I working on making the attachment work. So, bear with me while I am working this out.

Thank you, I enjoy painting it. My instructor was very pleased on how I portray the painting. The grade I received from my class is an "A".

This a painting of church in Paola, Kansas. I contacted the chamber of commerce and they did not recognize the church. On the history of Paola, there was five churches that would be this church: Congregational Church, First Baptist Church, The First Presbyterian Church, The Colored Baptist Church, and The African Methodist Episcopal Church. If anyone can recognize the denomination, please let me know. This painting is done in oil on 8X10 masonite board. The photo (black and white) was taken at the turn of the century.

Do you have more? My mom was a professional free lance commercial artist and taught classes too. I love to see people's work. You are doing great!

She has more. My favorite is the prairie dogs she did from a black and white snapshot from a newspaper. It hangs on MY living room wall.

Yes, I have paintings: a cowboy leaning against the barn door jam in the sunset, a large mouth bass jumping out of water, several paintings of old school houses (one in Cheney, Kansas), a barn with silo and more. I have collected several photos that I am planning to paint after I arrange my house so I can set up my studio.
