In progress paintings


Here are two works in progress. The first is a 20 x 16 acrylic on canvas of the cabin where my wife and I were married. When finished it will make a great gift for the owners, in appreciation for allowing us to hold the ceremony on their beautiful property in Portland, Tennessee.

The second is the outside wall of the Ivan Fisher Grocery in Michie, Tennessee also acrylic on canvas, 24 x 20. The grocery has been out of operation for many years but holds much sentimental value for the Fishers (my wife's' Family). I love old advertisements and vintage branding and this wall ad with it's huge scale and peeling paint really struck me as interesting.
