Nolan House

I just finished this painting of a house that a couple in Altus commisioned me to paint.  Their house used to be near the base runway and was purchased by the base and torn down because of the excessive noise from the airplanes taking off and landing.

This is a painting I just finished of the dam in Medicine Park, Oklahoma.  I recently took a photo of this scene with several kids fishing from the dam.  It was such a beautiful day and the lighting was perfect!  I had a good time painting this one and enjoyed using the new alkyd primed linen canvas.  It's a joy to paint on!

House in Mecicine Park

I did this painting for a couple I met at the Medicine Park Art Walk I attended this year.  They commisioned me to do a painting of their house in Medicine Park.  This one was rather difficult because of the cobblestones in the walls of the house.  Most of the houses in the little town of Medicine Park are built of cobblestones.  It is a very quaint little town with a lot of history and certainly worth visiting!
