July 17, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “The Bird Bath” : circa 2004

January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPainting
Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital.

January 04, 2022 – Pondering the Past and Present of My Art – 2 Landscapes 17 Years Apart

September 15, 2021 – Birds at Pfluger Bridge Austin @FineArtAmerica
Birds at Pfluger Bridge Austin is an 11×14 oil painting I finished a little over 3 years ago, but never wrote up about individually on my blog. I realized this was the case when I tried to find my WordPress image from an older blog post to include in my most recent post; about birds…

Second of a short series portraying how I parlayed one great photo at Monet’s Garden in Giverny in 2001 into a poster, an oil, and more recently a watercolor (or two, if I can keep my 70 year old uh-huh in gear 😊).

“The stars in the current image-version were actually there. The lighting, and my camera shot, just didn’t capture the highlights and color (canoe) well at all!“

Adan’s eBay Art – Yellow Blooms Coral Accent, My Most Viewed Image @FineArtAmerica Last Week 😊
