The reference I used for this painting was a photo taken early one morning of Gondola Lake in Medicine Park, Oklahoma.  The trees in the background were lit up with the light and the geese in the foreground were posing very nicely.

This is an old building in Medicine Park, Oklahoma.  I took the photo I painted this from several years ago before the building was restored.  It was a hotel at one time and is now a restaurant and bar.  Most of the buildings in this old town are built of cobblestones.  The town was a popular place for vacationers to come in the early part of the last century.

This is a painting of the entrance to a local restaurant here in Altus.  I had painted this scene years ago and decided to paint it again.  The second one was much better than the first.  Its good to know my paintings are improving.  I really enjoy painting flowers and foliage!

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!

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!
