Florida farmers' market

This was an unusually cool Saturday morning in Punta Gorda, Florida. The variety of clothing was entertaining.

Florida palms

I'm in sunny Florida for Thanksgiving. I love the sound of wind in palm fronds. It's cool here, but it looks and sounds tropical.

crepe myrtle bouquet

This is the first and only oil painting I've done. I think I was 17 years old.

kid art

I painted this little watercolor (8 x 10) when I was ten years old. It was one of my first paintings. At that time, our family lived in southern Virginia.

the shoefly

The shoefly is a practical insect, some would say 'set in his ways'.

llama love

She's been sheered. He's in love.

portrait of an artist's self-portrait

I listened to a story on the radio about this painting in a Barcelona museum. It's an artist painting a portrait of himself as an old man. The artist is looking over his shoulder, directly at the viewer. While listening to the description, I sketched this. I missed the name of the artist and the museum, but I'd love to see the painting.

still life with steering wheel

The rough sketch was done while waiting for the mechanic to bring a new alternator belt. I couldn't drive, so I sketched instead.

Wimberley Market Day

A giant flea market with over 400 booths, held on the first Saturday of the month in Wimberley, Texas. This event, sponsored by the Lion's Club, has been a town tradition since 1964. The website photo gallery has some nice images of what Market Days are all about.
