Well, this blogging can be so frustrating. I cannot get the paypal buttons in the right place.
Today, I finished the North Fork of the Flathead. When I posted it previously, I still had a little work to do, so I have replaced the original picture. I also posted two paintings that I did earlier, I kind of like both of them. What do you think? Am trying to finish up a few things, Linda and I will be heading to Kalispell, August 8th to take a workshop with Katheryn Stats, a very wonderful painter. Look up her website to see some great paintings. I am so excited

These are two of my latest paintings.  The Flathead River, mouth of Lake McDonald I tried to paint on the paint-out, but had better luck in the studio.  The Fields of Gold is a cabin by Bearmouth which was one of my first en plein-air paintings, this one is revisited this spring with Linda, when the fields were golden from the wild mustard.  I had a fun time repainting this.

Hi...I haven't blogged for awhile and the reason is this painting.  I have been trying to finish it for the Oil Painters of America Juried Western Regional Show.  What do you think?  Do you think I will get in with it?  This was done from a photo of the famous Intuit Cafe that Van Gogh painted in Arles, France.  We almost had lunch there (another story).
Please let me know.  Some of you are having trouble commenting, you tell me, just click on comment and start typing...see if that works.
I am going to post a couple of new paintings also.  What do you think of my newest work?
