Here are two new paintings from the Sunrise Poppies and Prairie Sky series. My patrons really gravitate to these compositions, so I like to keep them happy by having new editions of these paintings available on my sales venues.

Today I'm going to be working on some new paintings to list on my sales venues, and I have some new commissions lined up that I need to get started. I'll post some of today's work later this afternoon, so stay tuned.

I've had a burst in sales at the end of this week, which has been great! I know that everyone's hurting now, and that art is a luxury purchase for most people, but hey--even starving artists have to feed their families!

The paintings in this post are two that I did earlier this week. I had kind of a mad scramble the past couple of days working on commissions and reproductions of my own compositions. The Country Roads Through Fields piece sold today to a friend back in the Hudson Valley in my native New York. He's renovating an older home that he's turning into a bed and breakfast place, and has bought several of my paintings to hang in his new establishment.

Red Poppies on Yellow IV is a composition I've sold in different forms to several patrons. People like the fat paint and brush work I do in this piece. It's a fun painting, and one I enjoy recreating. This painting, and many others, are available for sale on the venues where I list my work. Check my links at the top right of my blog.
