Chickadees usually travel together and are often the first to find food due to their curious and adventurous nature. They are unafraid of humans so they are fun to watch and feed. I painted the small 6" square oil painting while my grandson napped as an inspiration to be unafraid and stay curious.

Seeing Sedona for the first time was a revelation. So beautiful. I painted this 9x12 color study today in preparation for a much larger work. #courthousebutte #sedona #oilpainting #allaprima

"Gentle Spirits of the Meadow," a 11" x 14" oil on linen panel. Tranquility in nature is one of my favorite themes. I found these deer in a meadow near home — a reminder of the peaceful encounters we often seek but seldom grasp.

I'm excited to share my latest artwork with you, titled "Holiday Glow at The Depot." This 8" x 10" oil on canvas panel captures a serene park scene in downtown Tomball, Texas, during the Christmas season. Inspired by the enchanting morning light and the winding sidewalk path leading to the gazebo.

In the heart of the bustling city, I found a quiet escape that inspired this recent piece, "Reflections in Verdant Light." This artwork serves as a reminder of the serene beauty that surrounds us, often unnoticed.

I am working on some color charts to fully learn my new palette colors. I have 10 more charts to go. Have any of you other artists done these? I learned this from Richard Schmidt's Alla Prima II.

I decided to rework this one in the studio. I am naming it, "The Meeting Place", due to a young man who spent some time watching me paint and talking with me, and then coming to faith in Christ. 10" x 10" oil on panel. #oilpainting #allaprima #pleinair #godisgood

I painted this from some reference I took hiking in Yellowstone. I love that park. 6" x 6" oil on panel. Won a first place ribbon in a local show earlier this year. #landscapepainting #allaprima #oilpainting #smallformatpainting

Enjoyed painting this old church in Huffsmith, Texas today. I think I am going to let the paint set up and make a few adjustments. 8 x 10 oil on panel. #pleinair #oilpainting #allaprima #landscapepainting #paintingsofchurches
