"Night Gusts"

early spring (1st day!) oil on board 7.5"x10"
"Lately the Atlanta area has had some strong weather roll through. Amazingly, the clouds at night have been moving fast over a bright moon, tonight was no exception. Winds feels like 30-40 mph at 45 degrees."

"Lone Ride"

winter 08' (oil on board) 10"x7.5" carter's lake @ 50 degrees,dusk
"I'm sensing a pattern with this one, if i'm not at kenn. mtn. than i'm painting rocks and water."

"Flood Optimism"

winter 07'(oil on board)9"x14" sope creek
"I painted this on the last hour of daylight. This rainy day on this flooded creek allowed Georgia to escape from making this the driest year in its history. "

"Hidden Hill"

winter 07' (oil on board)14"x10" kenn.mtn.
"Beautiful crisp day, went to sleep on this hill until I was awoken by sandhill cranes being chased by black vultures. Enjoyed the chaos of trees while painting with my glasses off. People fought and died on this hill in 1864. Hard to imagine now."

"Smeared Moss"

winter 07' oil on board 14"x10" sope creek
"Had a technical bike ride to find this area. Damp and cold has been the theme when I get out lately. I love all the challenges it takes to create these pieces. What made this unique was a big'ol sloppy wet retriever ran up to me, stepped on the piece and slimed me with his tongue. Smeared it perfectly."

"The Viewing"

"Wet Drought"

for anyone interested:

I just wanted to let you know that I will be in a group show that will have an opening on June 15th, yes 3 days from now. The show should be up for one month in case you don't make it to the opening. Most of the work you have seen on this blog will be exhibited, even though my name isn't on the postcard or website (this show has materialized so fast, it was too late for the gallery to add my name to the postcard). Mason Murer Gallery will be exhibiting my work. It's the first show since leaving my job of last year, and truthfully i'm excited for people to see it. The fluctuation of size and images should be interesting to see all at once. You can print a pdf of the directions from thier website www.masonmurer.com Thanks...Jeff
