S.Y. Wilson commission

Oil 14x18 on canvas. Just finished a commission of the old S.Y. Wilson antique store in the town of Arlington Tn. Loved painting this old building again and learned a lot from the first one.

April in Arlington

Had a great day at the April in Arlington festival. It was moved to Sunday because of the bad weather we had here in the mid-south on Friday night into Sat. There was a great turnout and my wife and I both sold several paintings. I painted a picture of the old general store (now antique shop) called S.Y. Wilson and sold it in the first few minutes after setting up the booth to the mayor of Arlington Russel Wiseman. He and his wife are really nice folks! This is a picture I snapped with my cell phone. My wife sold several of her paintings that she does with stucco on canvas and acrylic. She is well known in Arlington since she has her work in several of the shops there. Arlington is such a great place to live and we are really enjoying it there. I love the old red rocking chairs out in front of the store.   SOLD

Historic Post Office in Arlington Tn

Just finished an oil painting of the old historic Post Office located in the square in Arlington Tn. Have lived here about a year and drive by the old building everyday. I love to paint and used to paint old barns and cotton fields when I was younger. This building just begged to be painted. Took some snapshots with the camera and improvised the background as I imagined what it must have looked like many years ago before it was moved to the square. Arlington is a great little town and reminds me of where I grew up as a kid.
