August 7 SPIRITUAL NIGHTTIME OCEAN BEACH WITH PERSON

SOLD Hi Everyone, just a note for you out there that I need to ship things to or correspond with. I didn't get much done today, I got hit with a flu bug and was down and out and in in bed. Hopefully this is a 24 hour thing and I can get my work done tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding.

August 6 Serence Calm Ocean Beach Sailboat Painting

SOLD Hi Everyone
Well I took a couple of days off from listing. I had to do some school shopping. Let me tell you, shopping with 2 teenage and one tween girl is NOT my favorite thing to do. But we had some fun and great bonding time. I can't believe how fast this summer is going!

Today's painting is for an original acrylic on masonite. This is something different. My talented brother (who is a custom furniture/cabinet maker) is making me some cradled (with sides) panels for my masonite and wood panels. They are absolutely amazing to paint on. I should be able to paint larger and not require my customers to have to frame anything.
More about these later, he is thinking about selling them too. I will keep you posted.

This painting measures 10x10 and is 2 inches in depth. It can sit on a shelf, table or hang on the wall.

July 2 WHITE CORN CRIB AT NIGHT LANDSCAPE

SOLD I see so many old corn cribs standing alone around the midwest landscape. I am sure at one time they were all
accompanied by a farm house and other outbuildings marking homesteads which were full of activity and families.

In Iowa alone we lose over 100 barns a year and that doesn't count the corn cribs, hog buildings, chicken coops and farm houses from these vintage farmsteads! It is sad to see them go, once they are gone, they are gone forever.
