Beetle Infestation
For this post I want to share what I just painted last week. It is so much fun to digital and take lots of pictures not having to worry about getting prints or how bad some turned out. I love my digital camera so much and use it a lot. By the way, before I forget, I...Foothills Art Association demonstrator
I was invited to do an oil painting demonstration for the Foothills Art Association for this month. I was glad I was wearing my painting apron. I also wear plastic gloves and I use a cloth rag to do whatever wiping needed as I paint. While I was painting I...Alice Gibson of Morgan City, LA art teacher
One teacher that I forgot about was Alice Gibson who gave me one of the toughest lessons I ever had before I found the teacher I stayed with for 5 years, Dotty Billiu. For this particular lesson I was given a picture out of a book to copy, it was a black and white...Moved to Louisiana

When my dad was a young man he would use table cloth, sometimes called oil table cloth, and paint on the back side of that cloth which had a weave somewhat like a canvas. He was not very good with perspective, but could sure do the landscape nicely. He would go...That Mural
When I was a little kid I loved that mural in the church baptistery in back of the choir area. I would just drool over it and dream of being able to paint something that beautiful, such a simple landscape from this black and white photo taken in the 1950’s. I...A Surprise Image
Back in the 80’s while I was attending art school, I had this particular class lesson where I had a 16 x 20 inch masonite board that was precoated with gesso, dried, then I covered it with a mixture of blue and brown oil paint which looked like a dark navy blue,...Recent Interview
