I used my conventional oils to paint this juicy (loosey) oil of two fish for a Friday repast. I like water-soluble oils, but every now and then I resort to my regular oils so that I don't lose contact with the techniques of my youth. BTW, the actual ... 

Someone said "paint like a millionaire," so with a loaded brush I laid in these juicy wedges and complemented them with my lawyer's blue mug! Isn't art wonderful' 

Poised like a ballerina, this dancing iris is an expressive flower telling us that Spring is comin' soon. Until then, this is the preview... 

I love the way the light digs deep into the common onion and the veggie seems to have an internal glow like a pearl. A nice challenge which we got to eat afterwards...a double whammy. As for the painting execution, I could have gone *on and on*... 

This digital image which I created on my new iPad2 is available as a print direct from Fine Art America - to purchase, follow the steps above. Thanks, Ron. 

A plein air painting of Mount Douglas from the slopes of Mount Tolmie in Victoria BC with the Tuscany Village in the valley. When you own this painting hang it on a wall facing the natural light and play either a Haydn symphony or a jazz piece featur... 

This is a digital image which you can purchase through Fine Art America. It's an iPad2 drawing that I did after my plein air sketch, and is more abstract than the oil painting that I did first. Let's do this thing.... 

This Garry Oak is silhouetted against the rock in shadow with the suburb below. Mount Tolmie is in Victoria BC. A plein air painting. 

A studio painting of the shed at the edge of the property, Hunt Valley Farm. The winding path and the thick leafy trees caught my attention, apart from the shed of course... Yes, I simplified the scene somewhat - (artists are good at shifting tre... 

Although I am South African-born I had never met Madiba except through his autobiograhy, so this poster-like tribute was compiled through a number of public pictures of him. 

We came across these rock formations on the Oregon coast. I believe that they were formed through a process of eruption and erosion. Anyway, I liked the greening of them all, like banners in the wind. I also had fun with the impressionist pebbles on... 

I like the way that the reeds protrude from the surface and are reflected somewhat in the water. Also, the color surprise under the clouds supplies warmth and focal interest. I enjoyed painting it. 

Hey! I'm a fan! What exquisite beauty. Hats off to the person who cast this ORIGINAL 3-D image, what good practice it is for a portrait painter! I painted this on re-claimed wooden plywood.The cracks and fissures show, adding credibility to... 

Jim ex-army, sat for us Goward House portrait painters yesterday. He liked the portrait so I gave it to him. Although his friends and family cannot buy the ORIGINAL painting now but they CAN obtain a 6x8-inch print or card from this Fine Art America ... 

The original oil of this vintage beauty has been sold but prints (reproductions) are still available. Check it out (above here).
