Very nice. We sure have a bunch of talented people on this forum.

These are very nice. You must get a lot of pleasure from painting so well.

I do because it keep my hands busy. I have sold a couple of my paintings in the past I which I had no photos of them. The first painting I sold was of Santa Fe steam engine and the Silva, Kansas train station (made out of bricks) and the second was of a barn owl. I still had the photos and outlines so I can paint them again. I hope that I can show my work in a gallery in the future.

Here is a couple of more paintings:

Cowboy leaning against the barn jam oil 18X20 done in knife 1985
Barn with silo arcylic 16X18 1974

I like each of them, also. Very nice.

You have developed your own style, which is evident in each of your paintings...very nice! You are learning to do clouds very well. I really like what you are doing. And you've sold some? That's great!

I learned to paint clouds in the 1973. My instructor, at that time, and I had a disagreement on the clouds on the barn painting. I wanted to show a storm coming up but she suggested that paint the end of the storm. She won. I enjoy painting landscapes especially the clouds. That is from living in the counties of Elk and Greenwood. I wish that more people could see the beauty that the Flint Hills can offer.

The painting that I am posting has a little story behind it. It was the last painting I did in class. I wanted to protray the chalk mounments in Gove county with a thunderstorm behind them. Since Kansas was underwater during ancient time with sea reptiles and sharks that swam in the water. I painted the thunderhead as giant wave with the sea repitles and chark swimming out of the thunderhead. My instructor was very impress with the painting.

The 2nd photo proves that saying by W. C. Fields: Don't work with children and animals.

On my last post, I stated the you shouldn't work with children and animals. The photo proves it.

That's my Bud. Always helping.

Is Bud doing a little touch up with his tail, or is he doing a critique? I love that painting, nifty idea.
