Barnyard 11


I found this tractor at Ryers Tractor outside of Galt. I put it into a barn environment. Today is my 1st day back to school after 2 weeks off so this is short. Since I have jury duty later this week I need to be very organized today. You already know this is a 6" X 6" oil. Have an amazing day!!!!

Barnyard 10 Tractor with Early Morning Light

My favorite part of this painting is the very understated tree on the right with all the lost and found edges. This is again a 50/50 and is 120.00. It is a 6" X 6" oil. I have 40 more in this them and they are being shown at the 20th Street Gallery in Sacramento.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It also was a day that I could do nothing right with my paint brush. In 6 hours I got less than 1 hours work. At times like that I wonder why I am torturing myself. I guess it is the good days that keep me picking up the brush. Enjoy the beauty of each moment!

Barnyard 9


This is the old Delicato Tractor and I placed it in a more natural setting. I was trying to see how many different angles and environments I could put the tractor in and still have fun with it.

"Barnyard 8, Roosting the Crawler"

Ya know how chickens and roosters fly short distances and walk all over the things in the barnyard? Well, this guy is strolling across the track protector of a crawler. The crawler was from in front of the Delicato Winery. Out at the ranch several years ago, one of the chickens layed her eggs nestled in the tracks of a crawler and I thought that would make a wonderful painting...yet the moment passed I missed it. This is again a 6" X 6" oil on masonite board painted around the edges and ia $120.00. The work is at the 20th Street Gallery in Sacramento. See the link in this blog. Have a great day!

Barnyard 7 "Rooster in Sally's Barn 3"

I really love this one. The rooster has such attitude. Also I am very happy with the edge treatment on the rooster's tail. If you look closely there is my shadow on the ground and also turning as it hits the barn door. This is also an oil, 6" X 6" and painted around the edges. It is $120.00 and is at the 20th Street Gallery in Sacramento, Ca.
