New Chair paintings for sale

"Recharge"  oil   24" x 30"

"Retreat"  oil  18" x 14"

Oil  10" x 10"

I have recently completed several new paintings in my chair series.  Each serene setting has a glass of red wine for your enjoyment with a view of the Rocky Mountains.  These are all original oil paintings that are currently available for purchase.  "Recharge" and "Retreat" are views of the Canadian Rockies.  "Recharge" has a fair amount of impasto and pallet knife work.  The bottom painting that I just finished is a small study for a large commission I will be working on shortly.  My client loved the chairs of  "Recharge" but wanted the familiar Longs Peak in the background. This scene of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado is off of Highway 7; the Peak to Peak Highway.   I will use this painting to enlarge it to 30" x 30".  For prices and availability please contact me.

Oil Painting Classes

McGregor Ranch Oil (sold)

I teach beginning and intermediate oil painting classes out of my home  art studio in West Loveland, Colorado.  The classes are limited to 5 students to ensure lots of private instruction. Here is my schedule for fall 2012.  You can contact me for openings.

October 11 & 18  Impressionistic landscapes
    We'll work in the style of the French impressionists; using dabs of complimentary colors to make your painting vibrant.  Pick your own landscape/photo or use one that I will supply.   The technique works for any subject matter.
Oct 25 & Nov 1   Harvest with Antiques
    We'll work on composition and paint a still life using fall produce with  fun antiques.  If you have anything you'd like to ad, that would be great.
Nov 8    Can this painting be saved?
     Bring your old oil or acrylic (yes oil can go on top of acrylic but not the other way around) painting/s  you are "stuck" on & we'll see if it can be salvaged. Nothing ventured, nothing gained :)  If you have nothing old, start something new of your choice...or finish up paintings from   other classes
Nov 15  Pallet knife painting
    Bring the subject of your choice (simple is better) & we'll swirl thick paint (bring Res n gel to be liberal) like Van Gogh
Nov 29  & Dec 6  Snow Scenes
    We'll paint winter scenes; (you may want to use to make a Christmas card-I'll show you how)
Dec 13 & 20   Miniatures
    We'll paint small (good excuse to get out those tiny brushes & futz) scenes to keep or  they would make marvelous gifts.

"The Homestead Ranch"

"The Homestead Ranch" is an approximately 22 x 26" original oil on birchwood that I recently completed.   This winter scene of western ranch life in the 1920's is the 5th is a series of 6 paintings completed for a client.  I only had a copy of a old black and white photo to use as reference to recreate what it may have looked like 90 years ago.  This painting is sold but you can see more of my work at theses websites:
