Best Wurst

 Best Wurst
8x10 oil on museum board

I am crazy about these crazy little food trailers
that are popular all over Austin. 

It's lots of fun getting to know this city with
 such a great sense of humor.

It's given me a sixth sense-
I see paintings everywhere.
LOL 

Thanks for following along and viewing my art.

Wiggy's Wooden Indian


Wiggy's Wooden Indian
9 x 12 oil on museum board

TGIF
I thought this painting of a local liquor
store would be appropriate for a Friday post.
It a hide and seek title 
about the cool wooden Indian
that I like so much.

Thanks for viewing my blog.

Inspired

Porch Swing 12 x 12 oil on board

This painting was accepted into the
American Impressionist Society 
15th
 Annual National Juried Exhibition 
Abend Gallery, Denver Colorado 
October 2 – November 1, 2014 

Saying I'm excited to be in this show would be an
understatement.  I'm THRILLED!
If I had a bucket list this would be on it!

I was inspired to paint this after visiting my new friend
Dena Wenmoh who lives close by.
She is a wonderful artist and runs world class workshops
that you can check out here:

Thoughts about competitions:
My feeling is that the most important thing
about painting is to be inspired and enthusiastic
about your own personal journey.
That being said, the occasional external validation
does feel encouraging! 
Yippie!

Tacos on 5th

Tacos on 5th  
12 x 12 oil on museum board

Austin is a city with a sense of humor and a funky style.
I really love all the wacky architecture I see
around town.  This painting was inspired by
old bus, painted blue and repurposed as
a taco stand.
Why not?

Thanks so much for viewing my artwork,
