Now back to me. This is an 8x10 oil on a Fredrix linen board. I love painting on this surface. This was very quickly done as I mainly felt I was in a rut on my greens and wanted to try some new mixes. I like the glow in the sky from the mottled warm and cool colors. My son, Kirk, latched onto this one so it is not available for sale.
This is a little cartoon painting, also done by my son, Kirk. Kirk was the 2009 Missouri State Football Referee of the year and this is Kevin, one of his crew. They have a big time. Kirk plans on doing one of these drawings for each of his crew. It is about 7x9 on watercolor paper. He works in acrylic and watercolor. I want him to try oils some day but he thinks since he is left handed, he would have his hand in the paint all the time and make a big mess.
This is another acrylic, painted by my son, Kirk. I think this one is one of his best. He loves to paint wildlife and does a terrific job. This is probably 8x10 and painted on a gessoed board. I think it is fantastic, but of course, I am prejudice.
I am going to have to brag now just a little. The next few painting are by my son. He is not a full time artist; he is a banker and has little time to paint, but does a wonderful job. He paints in acrylics and the first time I got him to paint, many years ago, he said to me, "mom, you just created a monster". He loves it!! One begins to see the beautiful world that God has given us when one starts looking at it through a painter's eyes. This is about 8x12 on gessoed illustration board.
This is an 8x10 oil, painted, and revised some, of a stream at Bennett Springs. I had a fly fisherman in the water but did not like it, so I made him quit fishing and go home. Again, it scanned darker than the original. It is painted on a stretched wrap-a-round canvas and sits on an easel. It does not have to be framed as it is painted on all edges. These small ones are fun to do and I don't have to use my brain like on big ones so I find them very relaxing. This one is $125.00. 
I hate to throw away paints so instead of scraping my palette and throwing the paint away, I got out my palette knife and a small 5x7 board and made this one up. It scanned a little darker than the original. This was a fun painting to do. It is on a board and I painted the edges or it could sit on an easel or since it is a standard size, it could be framed. It is $75.00 unframed. 
This is a very small 6x6 oil on a wrap-around canvas and sits on an easel. I took some photos of the snow and this tree is at the edge of our property and it sort of grows up out of the middle of the cedar tree, so if is doesn't make sense to you, hopefully this will explain it. I painted it very fast, trying to keep it looser than I normally do. It was just so fun! These little paintings are fast and fun. It is $125.00, with an easel. 
This is another mini that sits on an easel. It is on a wrap-a-around canvas with the edges painted so no frame is needed. It is an oil and is 6x6. It is $75.00. 
This is another small 6x8 oil. I painted it from a photo taken in the spring at the lake. It is on a wrap-a-around canvas and sits on an easel. The edges are painted so no frame is needed. It is $125.00.
This is a small 8x10 painted from a photo that I took on our Colorado trip about three years ago. It is painted on a wrap-a-around canvas and looks real pretty sitting on a small ornate burnished gold easel. It was fun to do but I think I will try it again as I think I can do a little better job getting the colors better. Although usually my second attempt at painting the same subject doesn't turn out as good as the first. It is $300.00 with the easel.
This is a small 6x8 oil, painted on Masonite, of the early morning sun coming up over the hill in back of the cabin. It is framed in a gold plein air frame and is $200.00. I am mainly doing small work right now, except for the bird dogs I did. They are quick and easy and if it doesn't go well, I just wipe it off and start again. That way I can work with small blocks of time..jpg)
This is another little 8x10 oil, painted on a wrap around canvas so does not need a frame. It will sit on a little gold easel. It scanned a bit darker than the original but is o.k. I will also donate it to the Fresh Gallery, Springfield, Mo., for their anniversary celebration. It was quick and fun!! SOLD +8x10+oil+scan+%40200.jpg)
This is a little 8x10 oil on board. I framed it in gold and will donate it to the Fresh Gallery, Springfield, Mo., where I have some of my work. They are having an anniversary celebration and will have a silent auction. Small paintings are fast and fun.
