"Aspen House in Winter #2"

This is the last of the four paintings of this house--at least for now. It's such a darling house, it begs to be painted over and over again.

"Aspen House in Winter #1"

6"x8" oil on panel
sold
Here's the Aspen house in the snow. This is pretty much what it looks like now--except I painted this before we got our 54" snow last week. This painting was done with a palette knife.

This painting of the Aspen House opens the view to the house a little, by eliminating one of the foreground trees.

"Aspen House in Summer" #1

6"x8" oil on panel
"My Hometown" Series
sold

I did a series of paintings of this little house on Aspen Ave. in Flagstaff as a commission for a friend of mine. He lived in this house years ago and had many fond memories while there.
The summer ones I did from photos I happened to have in my files. I'll post the other three in next few days. I'd be interested to hear which ones you like best.

"Snow on the Pond"

6"x8" oil on panel
"My Hometown" series
We don't have snow like this in Flagstaff now. This painting is from a photo I took last winter. This pond was called "City Pond" when I was growing up. Now known as the Francis Short pond it is a short walk from my house, and one of my favorite places to paint. I also just completed a larger version that you can see on my website.

"Turret Window"

"My Hometown" Series
8"x6" oil on panel

Another painting in my hometown series. This old house is on the corner of Butler and Lonetree Rd. at the site of the old sawmill in Flagstaff,AZ. The sawmill is long gone and unless you're an old-timer like me, probably most people have no memory of it. Fortunately this house remains as a reminder of Flagstaff's logging history.

"Morning on Aspen Ave."

8"x6" oil on panel
"My Hometown" Series
$50

I have just started on a new series of small scenes of my hometown, Flagstaff, Arizona. On December 5, I will be a guest artist at one of the featured homes on the Friend's of Flagstaff's Future" Christmas Sustainable Home Tour. I thought this might be a fitting small item to purchase for Christmas gifts. I'm hoping to have about 15 completed by the event.
