"Greener Pastures II "

Here's a painting done in Gouache.  I recently started using gouache to see if I would like the medium. as it turns out I love it.  As a watercolor-est for many years I felt this medium would handle  well for me and it did.  I painted this one on poster board, finished with a spray varnish so there's no need for glass.
H 7 1/2" x L 16" 
$75.00 + $5.00 s/h

"Click to bid/buy - Is Here!")

Now you can just click on the art piece you want to purchase.  PayPal is an option but you may also send a check for the amount + s/h (if applied) As soon as your check is cleared, I will post your art piece with USPS.  I include a certificate of work with each piece. I no longer send frames with paintings unless it states it has one (usually small works i.e. 5x7, 6x8).  The frames for those are mostly made by me and I make the art look floating within the frame. if you desire not to have a frame please say so and I'll remove it before I send it.
All the larger pieces are not framed. Thank you for reading this.

If your into doing plein air painting, we are painting all over the valley.  We are about painting with like minded people and supporting each other.  This started 9 years ago and for me it's been my greatest achievement since we moved up to the Rogue Valley.

Welcome to my new blog

I have never had a diary in my life and don't intend to do so now but I would like to let my art viewers know who I am and the direction I want to take my art.  It may take a while for this to grow to something worth looking at but I'll get it there.
I am retired from 30 yrs. of Federal work. I had put my art life on hold until my kids were on their own.  Since I was a kid I had a pencil in my hand.  My friends would ask me to draw a horse head for them or army tank etc.  Later in high school I started painting on cars for buddy's, adding cartoon characters on the windwings on cars (some of you won't know what those are). Seems like all my life I have been interested in expressing myself in an art form.  Now I am doing it and wished I would have started earlier.

I have tried many mediums but work in watercolors and oils.  You will see my "style" differ in some work but so does a persons handwriting. I have been very successful in selling these last few years and use only the best materials available. I am fond of Plein Air painting but also delving into still life also.
Enjoy
Cheers
Norm
