Forget the Lighthouse, It’s the Waves, Baby!

I forgot where this lighthouse is, but that’s really inconsequential to me. The true focus of this painting is the crashing waves against the shore. Can you hear the thunder, then the hiss? Can you smell the salt in the air? It’s all pretty awesome to behold … unless you’re out on the ocean withoutContinue reading “Forget the Lighthouse, It’s the Waves, Baby!”

“Not for Sale” (but it is!)

All of us have done it. We’ve all driven down a road and come across a classic car sitting in a yard just wasting away, wondering how much the owners would take for it (assuming we could do anything with it). Some of us may have stopped, walked up to the door, rang the doorbell,Continue reading ““Not for Sale” (but it is!)”

An Iron Staircase Trifecta

A while back I took some photos of an old fire escape in Sandersville, Georgia. It’s pretty well known in the area because of its proximity and obviously intricate ironwork. It then occurred to me that I could paint different angles of the iron staircase, thereby increasing the chances of selling more than one, ifContinue reading “An Iron Staircase Trifecta”

Where I’ve Never Been

Not too long ago, a friend asked if I would paint a nighttime sky for him. He said, “I’ll give you $10.” “Sure,” I replied, leaving him shocked. A few weeks later, while I was working on another painting, he reminded me of our conversation and showed me a screen saver on his computer, oneContinue reading “Where I’ve Never Been”

Rebecca’s Forrest

Not long ago, my sister Rebecca sent a photo to me. It was a picture she took while walking through the edge of German forrest near where she lives. The original painting was done on cold pressed Arches paper, the 150 lb. kind. The size was an 8×10. So, I did have prints made, butContinue reading “Rebecca’s Forrest”

Rapid Progression

It seems like an eternity ago, but it’s not even been two years since the original shutdowns began in 2020. With that in mind, it was only then that I started my painting journey. When people hear that I’ve only been painting around a year or so, they can hardly believe it. Some think I’mContinue reading “Rapid Progression”

Just Pretty Flowers that Make Me Smile

Quite often my art is more about capturing the essence of something real, like a house, a church, a pond, or even someone’s beloved dog. Other times I paint from my heart, not my eyes. This painting is one of my favorites, if not my most favorite. It’s not a detailed reproduction of anything I’veContinue reading “Just Pretty Flowers that Make Me Smile”

Pakistani Pastor Portrait

This is a painting I just finished of Pastor Victor and Sophia Sammuel. I’m not that good at painting people, yet. However, he asked, so I did my best 🙂 Oh, and there’s something special I want to offer you. I am offering a PREMIUM Membership to Wall Hole Coverings. With your monthly membership youContinue reading “Pakistani Pastor Portrait”
