 Worked on this pic of BooBoo, but don't think it helped.  Going to give it another go sometime in the future.  He is really a better looking cat than this picture portrays!

 This pic is a combination of two different pictures. Manipulated on the computer.  It is my childhood home set into a imaginary winter scene.

 I painted this painting about 6 or 7 years ago, but somehow it has disappeared.  So here it is again. Not quite the same, but good enough!!

 This was not one of my better efforts.  One main reason, it is really small for a landscape, only 5X7.  I really should have worked with smaller brushes.  Oh well, next time..   Looks ok if you look at it from about 6 feet!

          Both of these pics are the same barn. The first pic is its natural setting, and the second I moved the barn so it would have more foliage around it.

ainy day.  A little watercolor, a little computer.

Two versions of the same painting.  Bottom one is computerized.  I love the computerized one.

           Just a little practice paper, trying the learn how to paint flowers.  Still a way to go.  I think it would have have been better to have had a plan.  Next time!!

 I'm a little obsessed with rain pictures.  This is Franklin Street in downtown Clarksville, Tennessee.  I'm trying for the perfect picture....haven't got there yet.  But gonna keep trying.


This is an old old painting that I revamped on the computer.  I kinda like what happened to it!

This sunset just popped up while out riding around near dark.  Just had to take a pic through the window of the car.  Didn't turn out too bad!!

Found these wild flower growing along side the road while taking a ride through the country side. A lot of day lilies, queen annes lace and some wild roses.  No telling what you can find when you keep your eyes open.

Adding to my series of old houses!


Started a series of "old houses."  Don't know how many I'll end up with, but here are the first three.
These are all computer "art."

Found this picture software on line for FREE!  I love it, might have to pay some money to upgrade.

My favorite flower of all time is the Peony. When I was a child I remember my Grandmother's  peonies in the back yard every spring.  They smelled so sweet.
