Twilight (Sold)

This is a Folk Art painting with very dark areas and a bright sunshine coming in from the right with strong shadows going across the painting.  You can follow the country road going past the white barn and house then the red barn on the left and the edge of the dark lake on the right.  The road travels far into the distance past rolls of hay and into the low hills in the background.   If you look closely you can see the effect of the tinting both in the foreground and the background of this primitive style painting. Be sure to click on the painting to see my other primitive, country and folk art prints.

Summer Showers (Sold)

I believe we have sold more of this country print then any of the others. People seem to connect with the bright light coming through just after the shower passed in this quiet rural scene in this painting..  The colors, the richness of the earth and the cluster of barns almost feel like a group of friends gathered together. The watercolor paper makes a beautiful image that enhances the contrast and colors in this folk art print.  The tinting creates the distance with a haze in the background leading up to the country sky on this peaceful farm.

Carnival

This drip art painting is one of the most vibrant abstract works I have ever done.  Symbols from everything and the crashing blues and beiges seem to hold together well.  Like a carnival, it has a mix of activity and color with ideas from all around the world.   I used drip and spray with some layering and tinting, but lots of brush work to control areas of color and space.

Valley Lookout (Sold)

This primitive artwork idealizes a place where you can look out over the valley with the country life below:  Black  and white buildings with a garden on the right and the planted fields on the left, a rocky hill leading down and a hint of a lake in the distance- a quiet still place in the country. This is one of my early barn paintings and the image has been doing well for years.

Village at Mountain Lake (Sold)


The thing I like about this folk style painting is the view, the rough planted field in the foreground with little light and the sun reaching in on the right across the fields, the lake and the small country village with small groups of houses and barns, the church standing at the top of the hill and the dark sky giving way to the light.  Primitive style paintings like this that let us know, America is a beautiful place.

Round Church Road

This folk art painting gives a rough, primitive look to the quiet rural scene. The strong sky, the black and white barns and the church with large field add a focal point to the rolling landscape in the foreground and hazy trees in the background. You can see clearly the tinting with burnt sienna and the greens above in the field and landscape.

Quiet Valley (Sold)

A minimalist quality characterizes this folk art painting which conjures up a simpler time.  Layers of tinting create a more somber mood in this scene from rural America.  The effect seems to be stillness, a quiet country cabin on the edge of a river.

Oxbow Inlet (Sold)

This American folk art painting is a good example of the use of oil pastels.  The sky has so much oil pastel work on it that the appearance is almost like fabric hanging over the rolling countryside in this quiet rural setting.  The work was started with acrylic, then came the tinting and re-painting of a few layers.  Then, when all the primitive shapes and forms were in place and the painting looked almost finished, the oil pastel work began.  My reason I used the oil pastels was to create a texture on the surface. I like the primitive look, almost like crayon, that it adds.  It’s something I can’t get any other way.

October Morning (Sold)

It is a quiet October morning on this historic farm. Everything is still and calm here.  This folk art painting has simple lines and a  minimalist, primitive quality. The watercolor paper makes a beautiful image that enhances the contrast and colors.  The tinting creates the distance with a morning haze in the background that completes the image of this quiet rural area.

Golden Horizon (Sold)

This primitive art painting is an impression of a beautiful Mid-Western landscape.  The simple lines and minimalist quality of this painting make it one of my best selling prints. The texture of the watercolor paper creates a beautiful scene that enhances the contrast and bold colors.  The tinting is clean and creates a soft, almost watercolor look to this painting. The overall affect is of a peaceful, golden time when things were simpler.
