Variety is my thing. Sometimes large or small , expressive and loose with the brush or somewhat exacting yet hopefully still painterly. I illustrated in my career which i see as work not art.
Paintings it is what do

Just framed this little thing. It is the last of the tiny bit of 100 year old British frame stock. I love it. My eldest daughter raises fancy goats and sells the young ones in spring. She lives at 8300’ in Conifer CO- with a small farm. This was her Christmas present. Needless to say both my daughters have a Dad’s painting gallery

I had to do some restoration on a painting I started early this year. Gardening commandeered my time . I am back at it working on and off on this- a very fussy detailed painting but just trying to keep it painterly
Happy New Year! And Merry Christmas!

Very nice!
Still working a bit daily on this one. Not in any hurry plus it is always good to look again at a work in process with fresh eyes.
Maybe in a couple weeks i will call it done. I am making it up as i go along. I have a strong visual memory so congering as I paint is often how I interpret a sense of place
Finished this one today

Thanks that was my intent. Question however. What do you means where my daughter gets it? I painted the goats for her for christmas. Unless your moniker hides your true identity and you know Lana or Elaine? Micah is this you?Well now I understand where your daughter gets itI really like the recent, Maple Falls. The focus to the water and near structure as it fades from foreground is very smoothly done! The length helps. Feels like I am there, peeping through the trees.
Wasn’t it you and your daughter with the Art on the Fence galleries? Gosh I swear I’m not losing it don’t do this to me yet I’m too young.
But no Lana, Elaine or Micah here just a good ol “David”
Lillie is 10 (On the fence gallery)Jeannies grandaughter. Jeannes is my long time fiance’ even when i was as married to someone else for 37 years. My daughters are 37 and 42 and i will be 70 in March. So nope do not have a 10 year old daughter. I think that would be a bit criminal actually…Wasn’t it you and your daughter with the Art on the Fence galleries? Gosh I swear I’m not losing it don’t do this to me yet I’m too young.

, well good because at 31 I was really hoping my ticker didn't just fart. Either way, cool to see your passion and skill rubbing off. Thank you for sharing too, that is a skill few have that I know of.
Mom is going to be 97 in a few days so made her a card. The background story here is that 7 years ago i bought her a star for her birthday. She got a formal certificate with its”location”. A star named Regina. This is watercolor and tempera…5” X 7”
Some of you folks make art. I guess I am going to indulge a bit and say this is on 300lb Arches paper, masked to control edges. Toothbrush and Winsor Newton Frisket, wet in wet painting, partial drying, application of coarse salt and a lot of teensy brush work
Thanks Hard work and persistence required. I taught as a sub at a HS for 7years. I saw 90% who were not willing to do that. Most thought it would be a social gathering room not entailing any real work. A few out of 30 per class had real natural talent, another 5 had great potential, most were trying, the balance were screw offs that needed to be kept separated.
