This is a mixed media piece, with a whole whole lot of media involved. I used acrylic paint, sand, paint chips, watercolor, pen and ink, and …oh yeah, tissue. I’m not sure which artist influenced me on this piece. Perhaps it was Salvador Dali. There are shadowy figures in the background, but enough about that. I need to let you see for yourself.

This is an oil painting I did about 3 years ago. It’s available as a reproduction (which some call a print) at Lenora.Imagekind.com.

This scene is imaginary, but I was thinking of medieval times when I painted it. So I call it Balcony over Medieval Landscape. The original is an oil painting on stretched canvas, 14×11 inches. Many people see it and immediately think I was sitting on that imaginary balcony, somewhere in Europe.

Hope you enjoy looking! Have a great weekend!

Yes, I’m from green, wet Louisiana, but that does not keep me from enjoying a little Southwest flavor every now and then. I love the buttes, mesas, and pinnacles of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and some more states that I’m leaving out only because I haven’t gotten to see them yet. I painted a very surrealistic version of the land formations that inspired me. Copies are available at Lenora.Imagekind.com. Here is the piece:

I painted this one quite some time ago. It’s watercolor, and is available as a “print” at Lenora.Imagekind.com.

And–marvelous details:

In the town of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana stands the shell of an old building where a man once ran a store and showed movies in the balcony. There were other businesses there, but none quite as important to my family. I don’t know how long the building will continue to stand, so I have begun to capture it in paint and canvas.

Cross and Statue at Oakwood Cemetery in Jefferson, Texas
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16×20

I recently visited the historic Oakwood Cemetery in Jefferson Texas. I find cemeteries to be peaceful places, and the old monuments are inspiring. The columns remind me of Ancient Greece and Rome. This artwork represents only small portion of Oakwood.

Near the bottom of the painting, under the trees, all is dark and perhaps even depressing. But the cross and other monuments rise high above the treetops, into the sky, and there is hope.

This is a mixed media peace, which means that I started the background with acrylic, then came in with oil. Size is 14×18. There is something I love about textured stone. Currently, I am working on a cemetery scene with weathered stone. It should be up in a couple of days.

Here is an oak limb with moss, lichen, leaves, sky, and I don’t know what else, even though I painted it. It was inspired by the moss-covered oaks we have in Louisiana. The model for this piece is an oak located on the grounds of Melrose Plantation, which was, for many years, home to the late Clementine Hunter, well-known Louisiana folk artist. At Melrose, she was a field hand, cook, and eventually, artist. Okay, back to my version of the oak.
