Nancy at Window of Condo



 How this artwork developed and the meaning behind it. 

   Using the post-impressionist style I made two compositions of Nancy looking from windows in condos at the beach. Her last month we spent the time at our condo in Sea Grove, FL., until see was too weak and decided to return home. She passed a week after we returned. I wanted to display her watching her 3 children from afar in a place of fond memories. This blog post follows some of the paintings development.
 I took artistic license to make the window prettier, Nancy in comfortable dress, and looking healthier.

" I made some small changes to the original composition. Adding small black dots to represent 3 children.
For reference we as a family spent Nancy's last month at our condo in Seagrove, Fl. until she asked to return home. I took no pictures as she was very frail. These are what my memory sees, based on abstract post-impressionism. A much better memory than the actual.The allegorical is she is watching her children from afar. In a place of fond memories."

Dutch Town at Night Print

I started with a sketch from a picture of Amsterdam and then went from there. The first version with the red doors won an award as best poster of the day.


After looking at for a day, and I did like it a bunch, I thought it needed a full moon and the doors were too red so I made these changes.

But looking at them together I think all the doors red is a good thing, so I will go paint them red now and add it on the web and let you decide.

I added more red doors too.

Tooker's Camp at Indian Village Landing

Tooker's Camp at Indian Village Landing, link to blog story- Camp Painting


One of the main attractions at Indian Village along the West Pearl River near Slidell, LA was “Tooker’s Camp”. Tooker was a colorful fellow for a local town who had a made up hot tub on his front porch and a stop sign. Of that collection of photos I got around to painting his camp but made it up as a starry night with a fried egg moon. Like a Van Gogh. Tooker would have liked it that way. The painting is sold as prints, cards, tiles, and many gift items

 All around the Indian Village Landing are camps used as weekend homes to people who love to fish. Catfish are plentiful there and good times had by many local people who drive and boat in to stay the weekend. As I would canoe there I took pictures then painted a few camps, Tooker's is my favorite fishing camp painting.
 The camps and area were also used in a music video by Sheryl Crow.
