I had a great summer this past 2014,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and an even better Fall Season</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loveland Fall Art Show was great !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sold four big paintings </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now as the Holidays are past and travel is over for awhile</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am settling in to paint my way through the winter chilly season now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-20 wind chill this morning..BBBBBrrrrrrrrrr</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A recap of a few of the paintings that I finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to find better ways to photograph the textural paintings that I produce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...very hard to get the good sharp definition at times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Preparing for the annual art weekend here in my hometown,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where many local artists show the town how they create their art</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all kinds of art will be underway and then displayed on Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qNjAdac13mc/U6OUzASGNxI/AAAAAAAAbE8/Fhk2Ganunyw/s1600/IMG_0155.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qNjAdac13mc/U6OUzASGNxI/AAAAAAAAbE8/Fhk2Ganunyw/s1600/IMG_0155.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to do my wooden bird and tree (bark) art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is what I love about this town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in the country-lands and farms surround us here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many birds and wildlife so close by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite thing to do (to relax) is to swing on my porch-swing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just listen....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tweeting and twittering and hooting birds, croaking frogs, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
buzzing bees and dragonflies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... and as nightfall comes you can really get into star gazing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and more nature sounds all around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spring is such a great time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> to photograph, observe, listen, and enjoy them all</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lately I have been finishing up an order of owls </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for a gift shop</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my progress so far</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Nothing completely finished just yet...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but soon </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I just use my finger to lay on some colors and texture</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">every owl turns out a little differently</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I use reclaimed birch or poplar wood </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the owls and the back board </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with some real preserved bark for added effect</span></div>

Loveland, Ohio has a wonderful Artsy Vibe</div>

So as you see -I've been busy with the palette knife</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like using lots of matte gel medium </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and matte liquid medium mixed in with the paints</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Im always looking to show lots of movement and texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
having fun and hoping soon to be outside more in the warm sun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was pretty sure she would like the purple tones for her room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the mommy and baby elephant,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
title is" tickling mommy"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the baby does the ticking on moms chin her tail goes flying up in the air. </div>
<br />
happy last day of Feb !<br />
<br />
Hope you get your tickles from a loved one today<br />

I am Happy to see the pretty snow falling today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the schools closed today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we did not lose power like some poor souls, west of here. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to the Opening night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the Loveland Winter Art Show last night</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was a chilly rain and a miserable night to be out in that icy stuff </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but many art lovers braved the weather to come to the studios</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and look at all the beautiful art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was amazed and awed at the quality of so many art works</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...I am humbled to think I am included among them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have six paintings hung and I love to be involved </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or included in the Winter Art Show of this caliber.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is what I entered:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the pink ballerina is my favorite one</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Joe requested of me to please recreate the manhole cover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into a piece of wall art for his apartment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where he now lives and works in another state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He really misses the old stomping grounds of his college,<br />
and after-college years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has many friendships and many fun times there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but does he want a lakefront painting or a painting of the downtown,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or a painting of the sailboats on the lake ?...No </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He wants this man-hole cover - to hang on his wall</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, being the good mem-mem I am...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...and every thing under the sun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
