I have been commissioned to do a painting for our church foyer , and I can’t wait to see the reaction from the people today. I have had a few weeks to come up with an idea for the theme given to me and it finally came to me the other night, like 2 a.m. …
In the early 1970’s I made my first purchase of an original watercolor from Keith Andry of Louisiana. It was a painting that I saw on a Saturday at a watercolor workshop at a plantation and all I could think of on Sunday was that painting of the ducks. The next day we drove for 30 minutes thru the bayou …

I have enjoyed doing paintings of this particular birdhouse at Summers Past Farm. Sometimes there are sunflowers growing around it, and one time it got shortened because the post got rotted and so it was replace. And now, just this winter, it was taken out of the ground and I found it leaning up against …
One of the spaces at Summers Past Farm where I would set up my gear and do a painting is now gone. I’m glad that there are many other spaces to choose from because SPF is a big place to visit and enjoy. Sometimes I can’t make up my mind just where I want to …
