I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the
United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor
murals and illustrated over twenty books.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

Love the drama of the different coloured lights, very Wyeth, in a good way.
These two last painting are very expressive Don, inspiring & breathtaking.
As usual, phenominal light, Don. There's nothing better than a great western view, and you've always got that in Spades.
what a BIG (in every way) picture in a small package. Lovely!
Simon--thank you. Wyeth was my hero when I was a young painter, and I guess he still pops in from time to time.
That means a lot, Pierre--thanks!
Sam--welcome to my blog and thanks for the encouraging words. Your blog is terrific.
Deborah--good to hear from you--I appreciate your thoughts.
Great job on the cold winter sky yet bright sunlight on the far hill side.
Thanks a lot, Steve.
Oh, I really like this one a lot.
Thanks, Micah--Happy Holidays.
Wow! This is another eye stopper! So much in such a small format. This should be a study for a larger work, it is so successful!
Marilyn, so kind of you to say that. Yes, I do think this might make a larger painting...that just might happen!:)
Beautiful.
Thanks, David.
Love this one. The drama on the light Wonderful.
