OX WAGON
$5500 Sold
Oil on linen
18×14
This painting is titled OX WAGON, although I have chosen NOT to show the wagon. Of much more interest, to me, is the colorful handler and the powerful beasts under his control. I have added the flowers as a teasing snack … that the oxen will not be able to enjoy … for now at least. They did later. The handler is a close friend. He has so many interesting stories of the numerous ox teams & their personalities he’s trained over the years. I just had to get him on canvas.

FULL MOON
$5000
Oil on linen

One of my ongoing attempts at painting nocturnes. This painting … my turquoise phase choice …at establishing a nightly mood. A mood of moonlight on a young man and his horse. A play of such lighting on white. It seems to give an eeriness or wonder. As … wonder why this fellow is out after dark with his horse? Did it escape and had to be found? Well, if so … it’s a positive painting with a successful conclusion.
