Welcome to my daily painting blog.

I create one new small work every few days. Most are done from life and reflect pleasant childhood memories of Michigan's rural beauty.
Have fun!

About Giveaways

If you love to own original artwork..for free.... then this post is for you! We artist types understand that the economy is tight right now, but we have to keep painting toward the day when it will inevitably loosen up. So artists sometimes post giveaway paintings on their blogsites. I'm giving away the painting you see to your right.
But I'm not alone...Read on..
...In fact, I used to not believe that real people really won those. That is..until I began engaging in online dialogue with other artists, most of them by far my superior (by design). That's when I met Judith D'Agostino, an impressionistic landscape artist. She encouraged me to enter her giveaway. So I trusted for once. Imagine my joy when she announced me as the winner of a gorgeous New Mexico oil landscape!
Now, while Judith is possibly one of my favorite landscape artists, Jeff Hayes is one of my top three favorite stillife artists. I love how he creates a glow around the edges of glass objects. And he's giving away a painting this month!!!!!!...and what's even better is that he's quite well known. I've read possibly everything he's posted over the last year and learned a great deal from him. While what I'd REALLY like to win is that painting of a glass oil cruet he posted some time ago, I'm still entering this one because it is a Jeff Hayes work afterall and quite collectable. If you have a blog, you can enter his drawing too. Click on ...Free Jeff Hayes Painting. Let me know if you need help. I'd be happy to support this highly respected artist. Remember to enter mine as well. Who knows? You could end up with your own miniature gallery.
