Judicial Portrait

Retiring Circuit Judge J.S. "Steve" Daniel commissioned me to paint his official portrait to hang in the courtroom of the judicial building where he presided. This is the portrait and a photo from the ceremony for the unveiling and hanging of the portrait.

This landscape was painted from a photograph I took recently while visiting a friend's cabin in Monteagle.

Floral With Palette Knives

"Floral with Knives"
14 x 18
$125

This is my second attempt with palette knives. I picked the flowers from my yard and arranged them in a copper tea kettle.

Violet With Palette Knives

This is my first attempt with palette knives. I completed it on a canvas sheet, so when it dries, I'll stretch it onto bars (another first attempt). Once it's stretched, I think it will be 12 x 16.

Cypress Lane

"Cypress Lane"
Oil on Gessoed Board
9 x 7
$175

This little landscape depicts the lane leading to my parents' home. Cypress trees (which Mother and Daddy planted) line the lane; the field is often planted in soybeans or cotton, occasionally corn.

Back Yard

This is a landscape of my parents' back yard. The building near the back porch is a smoke house built by my grandfather. I have the smoke house nearer to the porch than it is in real life. The farm, which my parents call "M & M Farm," has received the designation of a Century Farm in Tennessee.
