After a 16 year hiatus, I started painting again last summer. Below is a link to a site where I've posted pix of works finished in August of this year.
thanx and God bless,

Awesome! With talent like that, why did you lay off for so long?

dave c,
As a fellow "paint slinger," let me say well done. I really liked the covered bridge, good use of colors. What is your preferred technique? Some of your work looks to be wet-on-wet, yet other works appear to be dryer, more traditional techniques.

Dave - enjoyed the paintings. I live fairly close to the
Bollinger County mill. What part of Missouri are you from?

Pianoman--We live in Northeast Missouri...but my wife is from (and my sister lives in) Jackson, MO. Ever eat at Bob's BBQ (I think I have the name right) at Marble Hill?

How cool! You're probably thinking of Jay's BBQ.
It sits right beside a car dealership on the main drag &
the outside has a rustic wood look. (Restaurant right
across the street from it has a rustic wood look as well!)
Everyone signs the walls on the inside of it when they visit.
They actually opened one in Jackson for awhile where the
old "Woodards" used to be - but closed that one down. If
you ate at Jay's - they serve you monstrous portions & have
thick & huge BBQ Pork Steaks (among other things) at
really reasonable prices.

Pianoman...yes, you're right. Jay's. My wife teases me all the time because I insist on calling it Bob's. I do believe that it was the largest portion, best BBQ, at the lowest price that I've ever eaten. I think Jay's in Jackson has actually reopened, but don't hold me to it. We've been frequenting the new Jackson Diner the past few trips "down south". I'm wanting to do a series of paintings about Elephant Rocks, Tomsaulk/Thom Saulk (whatever), etc. and historic sites in that part of Missouri. I would really like to come to be known as a neo-Regionalist for Missouri subjects.
