An Artist's Sketchbook of Simple Living

Man's Best -- This hapless face is new to our home as of February 2022, and a better face I can't imagine. The deceptively calm demeanor seems a nice departure from the exciting color all around him.

Dahlias -- some flowers can't be beat for color. These peach and coral dalias are just such flowers. I'm always surprised by the translucent effect of light on these petals, especially the dahlia in the turquoise container. Enjoy this print in an overlooked location of your home that needs some extra sunshine.

Caroline - I love this cow picture and the skeptical look on the cow's face. I named her Caroline because it sounds like a perfect name for a cow of her dignity. You can read a little more about

Deli Lunch - An art print fit for an uptown deli kitchen, or any kitchen or corner where you want to feel fresh and in style. What if all my meals looked like this? I would be in heaven.

Rabbit Hut - If I were a rabbit, which I'm not, I would live in a little house much like this one. It would be scrappy and somewhat upright with lots of frayed flowers and rabbit belongings hanging from the roof. Come to think of it, it's not unlike where we live now. Just sayin'.

Winter All Around - Set a table like this one and snow just comes out of nowhere. This print was originally completed shortly after Christmas in 2021. I especially like the graphics and grid-like composition. It needs a good place in your holiday home.

Georgia Tractor -- This lovely tractor sits on the grounds of Betty's Store in Helen, Georgia north of us. In reality, it is rusted and therefore used mostly for picture taking, which I did, of course. It reminds me of the tractor my Dad had when we all lived in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a classic workhorse, with all the charm of a southern gentleman.

Nandina Berries II - This is a cheerful picture of nandina berries at their reddest and healthiest. I chose a white vase with black dots because red loves such a thing. The chair is actually a child-sized chair, so the arrangement isn't as big as it might seem. The shadows are heightened with a digital technique I use quite a bit in my work.

Won't You Have a Seat? - Here I am venturing into the world of colored pencils on, yes, sandpaper. This dancing chair is a wonderful departure from my usual pen and ink. You can read more about chairs I have loved in the April 2022 entry,

Morning At the Cabin -- The nooks and crannies of the cabin back porch fill up with light in the bright rays of the morning sun. I love how this print captures that and appears as if you could sweep the light away with your broom.

FolkArt Strawberry -- This is a new technique I'm experimenting with and have been pleased with the results. The original drawing was done on black sandpaper and from there I went nuts. The original is very tiny -- only about 4 x 3, but it looks impressive as a large print. To me it has a folkart look, wihch is always a good thing. I hope you like it too.

Vintage Jeep -- The best of the best in vintage jeeps! The colors here are somewhat altered from the real-life jeep we saw parked at a local fast-food place, but just look at that face, not to mention the cool, unexpected umbrella across the back seat. It deserves a place in my print history, and maybe in your home too.

Copperware -- The warm colors of this print are especially pleasing to me, as well as the subtle glow of light in the lower right. The textures also compliment each other and add to the interest. If I had a large kitchen, I would hang this on my vast gallery/wall. Maybe you can do that for me in your kitchen.

Red Barn in Winter - I saw this old, red barn near us on my way one afternoon to see what I could see. It isn't quite as colorful in real life, but it does show that a print can bring anything to life--now it's a carnival. I think you might enjoy finding a place for it in your home of office.

Smelling the Flowers -- These flowers were such a beautiful color selection when they were fresh that I had to dry them. The good news was that they dried into even more beautiful colors. It's wonderful when that happens. Of course, the nose in the picture is an added bonus.
