Southern Engineering
To say that I love(d) my Jullian Plein Air Easel would be an understatement. I really loved everything about it, especially the fact that is was made of real wood, had cool hardware, folded and I could throw it on my back using the leather straps I added when I bought the easel back in …

Gold in Them Hills
My wife and I were blessed to take a trip back across the “River”, the mighty Mississippi, to visit family. Our trip really began with Memphis, (where our daughter, son-in-law and grand kids live) then through Nashville, Chattanooga, and a stop in Cleveland (Tennessee) where my son lives, along with my favorite mother-in-law :-). Fall is one …

The subject for this demo was an old barn my wife and I came across in east Tennessee. As I normally do, I began with an explanation …

Prairie Fest at Tandy Hills Natural Area
Having gone through the process of having a total knee replacement back in February, I have not been able, or had to desire to paint much in the weeks that followed. It seems to be a slow road to recover from all the sawing, drilling and hammering it requires to add titanium implants to the …
