"OBSERVATION SLITS, MILITARY ARSENALS AND THE MAING OF VETERANS"


This is the No 160th painting in my365/2010 painting series.
Title: "OBSERVATION SLITS, MILITARY ARSENALS AND THE MAKING OF VETERANS"
Size: App. 11X14 inches
Medium: Watercolor on hand made Germany paper.
You may think it strange in the way I'm choosing to express my remembering or my memorial to all veterans everywhere.
The tile is the translations of the two words shown here.
I grew up with relatives and friends who were veterans talking about the horrors of war and the status of themselves as veterans. They all hated the guy who made them veterans, the same guy that made the awful thing pictured here. He was a maniac and in my opinion could easily be one of the Antichrists spoken of in the book of Revelation in the Bible. The story of the Jewish persecution, Holocaust, always frighten me as a child and when I saw the image pictures here chills went up my spine, thinking about the horrible things war causes.
This horrible sight is in the tunnels under Hitler's southern command post in Berchesgarten, Germany. It is ironic that the most horrendous images in my mind came from the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
See painting #5 in this series. May god bless every veteran from all over this planet, but especially those I've know who served in the U.S. Military, in WW2, the Korean War, Viet Nam War (not a conflict) Dessert Storm and the Wars being fought as I write this tonight. Thanks to you for keeping sites like this from our continental United States.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I do hope you like what I do.

ANOTHER ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI MYSTERY"


This is the No. 157 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: ANOTHER ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI MYSTERY"
Size *X11
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. DeArches cold press paper.
Both Miss. Peacock thought his had to be the back of the house.
I have been in the backyard of every large house in Aberdeen and this house is simply not there.
The photo that I had to work from is a family portrait. There were three adults in the picture One older gentleman that looked like maybe the grandfather and husband of one the elderly woman. There was a younger, middle aged lady and 4 children. There was what looked like an early teen (12-14), and a little girl maybe 7-8 and a little boy or girl looked like a boy to me but in that girly clothes boys use to dress up in to have their picture made. There was also a 8-10 year old black girl (Family) That did happen you know.
Also it looks to me like the middle age lady is playing a violin. There is a table with some things on it and it is beside a very large chair obviously brought outside and a Tiffany type floor lamp. beside the chair. I'm sure those things were brought outside not for comfort but to show off their affluence.
If you have a photo like this or know anything about the house or people. Talk to me, Please.
I do hope you like what I do.Sorry for being so late in this post today.

"THE GILLESPIE HOUSE, ABERDEEN 1902-04"



This is the No. 156 painting in my 365/2010 series.

Title: "THE GILLESPIE HOUSE, ABERDEEN, 1902-04"
Size: App. 8X11 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. DeArches watercolor, cold press, paper.

This is a house that I never got to see till Miss Peacock showed it to me. I had heard of it but no one had ever been able to describe it.

This is what's written on the back of her original. I copied it onto the back of my copy in 1983.
"Gillespie House. Corner of Franklin, High Street. (Possibly around 1902-04) Northeast corner/Southwest Corner.
Presently this property (NE) is occupied by Mrs. Denton Roberts. An abstract deed would reveal the original structure and if this was ever there or not. (a big smudged mark) could have been next door to the house.
That last remark along with the picture raised some questions? I know it was a little house decorated with items, stuck on it from a larger house. Did a larger house burn or destroyed some other way and the Gable, BIG trim, Large bay window with dormer over it saved and stuck on a smaller replacement home.
I hope you like what I do.

Title: "ANDREW WYETH'S BASKET"
Size: App. 15X21 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 90lb. student grade watercolor, cold press paper.
Yes, this was hanging in Wyeth's Garage when I got the GREAT privilege of touring his home place at the Brandywine Old Mill in Chadds Ford, Pa. back in the early 80's.
George the care taker, (Watch for his portrait later) gave us a fantastic tour of everything because I had the guts to pass through the NO TRESPASSING signs and all the way to the house to tell him that I had come a long way to see Andrew. It was an amazing day. Andrew had left the day before heading to Cushing Maine. So that's where arni headed next.
Did not get to meet him. Did talk to him on the phone thought.

This is the No. 153 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: "UNIDENTIFIED IN ABERDEEN"
Size: App.8X11 inches
Medium: watercolor on140lb. watercolor paper, cold press.
This is another one of those Miss Peacock unidentified places that she didn't know where it was in Aberdeen.
On the back of the photo she showed me someone had written "1845-South Meridian St. ?"
I moved to Aberdeen in 1964 and I know it wasn't there then. In 1983 when i did the research for the MC.Donald's project was the first time I saw that photo and i went looking for any house that had any remnants of any liking to this. There are non remaining. I remembering being told about several places south of Meridian and High street where there once ( at the turn 0f the century) a "BIG HOUSE". but I never found records of those places having big houses. One of these days I'll tell you about those locations and who knows? someone may really know!! If you can help with this one Please let me know what you think.
I do hope you like what I do.

"THE BACKSIDE OF CHRISTINA'S WORLD"


This is the No. 151 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: "THE BACKSIDE OF CHRISTINA'S WORLD"
Size: App. 16X20 inches
Medium: watercolor on 90lb. all purpose paper.
I bet most of you there have seen a painting of the other side of this house. This is the house in Cushing, Main that is pictures in one of America's most famous paintings by I think the best American artist ever.
My painting is the other side of the house made famous by ANDREW WYETH in his painting titled "CHRISTINA'S WORLD. Wyeth's painting has appeared in more psychology books than you can shake a stick at. In this painting there is a girl in a very pale pink dress crawling toward this house in the grass. she looks like she's a long way from the house and struggling to get back. That's what the "Psychologist" have fun trying to analyze. Shouldn't be done, in my opinion. That's not what Wyeth intended.
To Long for the story about the painting here. Interested let me know and I'll tell you that story.
Anyway I visited both places where Wyeth painted 99.9% of his work and this is what I first saw when I arrived in CHRISTINA'S WORLD. An amazing journey walking in her world. will never get over the impression made on me while there.
I do hope you like what I do.

"PLIEN-AIRE NEAR LAKE HEFNER.


This is the No. 150 painting in my365/2010 series.
Title: PLIEN-AIRE NEAR LAKE HEFNER'
Size: 16X20 inches
Medium: Acrylics on canvas board.
The true plien-aire painters in he late19th and early 20th centuries rarely painted out doors for more than 30-45 mins.

This one was done in about 30 mins.Each summer i put about 20 canvases in my truck with my acrylics and my max oils and when I'm out traveling or looking for things and I see something i think might make a very nice studio painting, I'll stop set up and only allow 30 mins to so the piece. Not many of these ever get to the larger version. I'm usually just happy with what i got in the shot version.

The plien-aire artist of the impression and expressionist eras. were interested in the effects of light on their subject and when painting the light changes so much so quickly that the painting never was completed in the way it was started. Thus the term plien-aire, how the light was when i started with little change in the effect that that I originally wanted to create.
Look for several of these from my trips to Alabama and Mississippi this summer.
I do hope you like what I do.

Title; "BETWEEN HATLEY AND SMITHVILLE MISSISSIPPI"
Size: 15X22
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. DeArches watercolor paper.
This was painted from an early shetchbook. It was sketched on site in the late 70's or early 80's. It was on the south side of the road somewhere between Hatley and Smithville Mississippi. I think I recall someone telling me then that it was on some of the West's family property. Not sure about that though. It was off the side of the road and almost obstructed from view if you were not looking for it. Saw it out the corner of my eye and turned around to sketch it. I wasn't to much into the camera then like I am now.
I do hope you like what I do.

ROCK CAFE, OLD RT.66, STROUD, OKLAHOMA
















This is the No. 146 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: "ROCK CAFE, OLD RT. 66, STROUD, OKLAHOMA"
Size: 22X30 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 149lb. DeArches 100% Rag, cold press paper.
The Rock Cafe is located about 50 miles Northeast of Oklahoma City about haft way between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The cafe opened in 1939 and was built with rocks unearthed when road crews building Route 66 decided to save some of the rocks. These rocks were taken from the earth near Kerrville just a little north of Stroud. The restaurant was opened for 44 years, till 1983, when the first owner at the age of 70, closed the doors because of health and poor business. When the Turner Turnpike came near by in the 70's business diminished.
It reopened again in the early 90's and then was destroyed by fire in 2008. The restaurant has recently reopened. Interest in the old RT. 66 brings a steady stream of customers and local bossiness revivals manage to sustain operations.
If you're ever near the area it is a very nice, little, place to experience. Specialities on the menu include Bison/Buffalo burgers and Alligator.
I do hope you like what I do.

Title: "COOKIES AND CREAM"
Size App. 11X17 inches
Medium: Encaustic, (melted wax) on 90 lb. Sulphite paper.

" THE ADOBE IN ABERDEEN"


This is the No. 143 painting in me 365/2010 series.
Title: "THE ABODE IN ABERDEEN"
Size: App. 8X11 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. DeArches cold press paper.
When I first arrived in Aberdeen in 1964 all; the Victorian and the large plantation home grab my attention first. The one day this little house, nestled back off the street a little further than the rest, caught my attention because it just didn't belong. BUT that was only for a second. Questions, Who had been out to where the abodes had the post sticking out of the top of the house? Who came back and said I want one of those with the twisting columns built right here?
It became my favorite for a long time. Do you remember ever seeing it painted pink?
When I was living there I always wanted to decorate it for Christmas. Trim the tops with Christmas Green and paint garland draping around the top. of course the twisting columns would be red and white candy canes.
It was always Dr. Martins house.
I believe my FB friend Steve Martin lived there.
I do hope you like what I do.

"DARRACOTT TAVERN, CA. 1840"

This is the No. 142 Painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: "DARRACOTT TAVERN, CA. 1840"
Size: App. 8X11 inches
Medium: watercolor on 140lb. DeArches cold press watercolor paper.
This old building that was somewhere in the Darracott community leaves more questions than it does answers. This was painted from another of the photos i got from Miss Peacock. The picture had written on the back of it "The Old Darracott Tavern, 1840". We know it was a tavern. She did not know the exact location and said she had asked several people that had heard about it but did not know where it was located. Questions in my mind. Was it also an Inn?
It look like a lot of the Inns that i have seen in Alabama, Tennessee and Oklahoma. The arrangement of the doors and windows on the bottom floor and the top floor, look like other Inns. If it did serve as an Inn, There was probably a "stage line" that ran through Darracott and probably Aberdeen also. Has anyone ever heard of a stage line coming through Aberdeen long before the railroads?
If you know anything about the old Darracott tavern, would you please pass it along this way?
I do hope you like what I do.

ANOTHER UNIDENTIFIED HOUSE IN ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI

This is the No.141 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: ANOTHER UNIDENTIFIED HOUSE IN ABERDEEN MISSISSIPPI
Size: App. 11X14 inches
Medium: Watercolor on DeArches 140lb. 100% rag paper, cold press.
This is painted from another one of the photos Miss Peacock gave me in 1983.
Notice the curved Bannister and rails going up the front stairs, the double stacked Ionic columns at the porch and balcony. There are four very large pilasters beside the main doors and at the corners of this house. Notice the lower left side of the picture. It looks like the back yard of this place slops down to the river, notice the straight line behind the large tree, that to me looks like the bank of the river on the other side. With the fact that most of the larger houses, like these, faced the east. Could this one have been built on the east side of the river? Does anyone know if there ever was any habitation on the east side of the river? Maybe on the way to Amory or Columbus? What about around the community of Darracott?
I do hope you like what I do.

"THE ELK CLUB - JOHNSON HOUSE"

This is the No. 140TH> painting in my 364/2010 series
Title: "THE ELK CLUB - JOHNSON HOUSE"
Size: App. 11X14 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 100% handmade rag paper.
This house was gone by 1964 when I moved to Aberdeen. I never got to see it but it must have been such an impressive structure. My wife remember it. It was on Commerce ,and I believe James Street. Please tell me exactly if I am wrong. It was where one of the federal buildings now stands. My wife thinks this is the house that the Johnson's lived in. And on the photo Mrs. Peacock gave me, is written that "Alice will be here this weekend..." Alice was the Johnson's daughter that I met when we moved to Edmond, Oklahoma in 1976. Alice's husband was the Li brain at Oklahoma Christian when I went there and Alice and Malcom Hinckley lived right around the corner from us. YES it is a small small world. This house was also the Elk Club of Aberdeen at one time.
The photo I used was of course a black and white one but I bet at one time the house just had to have been painted yellow trimmed in white. That's what it feel like to me.
I do hope you like what I'm trying to do.

"SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI AT RANCHO de TAOS"

Title: "SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI AT RANCHO de TAOS"
Size: 22X30 inches
Medium: Watercolor on DeArches 140lb. cold press paper.
This little church, not far from the center of Taos, was made famous by the paintings of Georgia Okeefe in the 1950's. This church is still a function meeting place for the people of that region.
There is an annual "mudding" of the structure from the inside out. During the summer months the sun keeps the building in great shape but during the wet rainy season it does suffer damage. It is a community volunteer project that bring the worshippers close together each year.
This is really the back of the church. I do hope you like what I do.

This is just one of the many large barns that i have intended to paint for a long vacation throughout the north eastern part of the United States. being use to the barns, that I thought were pretty big in the south, I was surprised to see and to know that the barns up north were HUGH. And that they generally had to be big enough to hold the animals, on the farms, inside during the winter months.
This barn was way up north near the Canadian border.

This is another demo painting of a barn west of Edmond, Oklahoma near Yukon, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma really has some spectacular sunsets. I really like painting old run down barns and if there is an abandoned barn within a 40 mile radius of Oklahoma City that I haven't painted, then that means I haven't been on that road.

Title: "THE GLACIER AT LAKE LOUISE"
Size: 22X30 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 140lb. DeArches 100% rag paper.
In 1961 my son John and I were singing in a men's chorus and we won the districts and wen on to the Internationals in Calgary, Canada. On of the things that I had to do while in Canada was to see the glacier at Lake Louise. I almost did not get to but for the literal GRACE of GOD. I got to see it for about 15 Min's. It was the most DIRECT INTERVENTION of God in my life that I've ever experience. For those friends of mine who do not believe in such things, don't even bother to ask but for all of you that do BELIEVE I would love to share that part of this experience with you, and I hope to get to one day. We were in Canada for 5 day, practicing from about 8-10 each morning and from 1-10 each night before the competition but all the other times I rented car and covered almost 4000 miles from Calgary to the Colombian Ice fields in Northern Alberta. A most magnificent adventure.
I sure hope you enjoy what I do.

Although we thought winter would never end here in Oklahoma we did manage to have a beautiful sun shinny day for EASTER.
This little bush was full of these white pink and white flowers just at the corner of the parking lot at Church.
I loved the pattern of the shadows that were being cast on the ground with the sun shining through the leaves and branches.
I do hope you enjoy looking at what I do each day.
