Charles

"Charles"...from my sketchbook

I am in Nebraska. Before I left there was a BIG GAME and I spent some time sketching the boys...Meet Charles!

Tomorrow I will have a new painting from Nebraska! In the morning I'm going painting with 2 of Nebraska's finest painters, Marilyn Bower and Mark Moseman. Mark is one of the founders of the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, along with Anna Nolen Covault....I am staying with Anna and Allen and feel so welcome here! Pie for dinner tonight...priceless!

HUNDREDS of patrons have come to this small town to see the FIRST EVER exhibit at this brand new museum: Last Year on the Farm, the Four Seasons...I think I have met EVERYONE in David City. They all have a connection to farming and greatly appreciate my paintings. My kind of people!

Tall One"

"Tall One"

I sketched my oy Samuel at the game the other night. (In my pretty new sketchbook)...

Right now I am in David City Nebraska. Tommorrow is the Aritst's Reception at the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art. I will give a little talk about the "Last Year on the Farm".

I brought a bunch of books with me on my 6:30 am flight....after NOT going to bed last night....B U T...my luggage never made it!! I have been here since noon without a toothbrush!!! But I am too tired to think.!

I'd rather stay up all night PAINTING 24 paintings in 24 hours than to stay up getting ready for a travel trip...So I will! Next week or the week after I will have ONE LAST DAY on the farm.I have a special day planned on Aril 9 - 10,

Parker at the Plate

"Arun Catching, and Parker at the Plate"...from my NEW Sketchbook!

One of the other Round Rock Dragon moms noticed I was running out of pages in my sketchbook, so she showed up at the last game with a BRAND NEW sketchbook just for me! Not only that, she had added her own artwork to the hard bound cover, gluing REAL DiAMONDS and embelleshments to the cover!...well, they might as well be real diamonds!

The Catcher here is my good friend Priti's boy, Arun. Just two of a team-full of great young men!

So, WELCOME to the blog-mail, Kathi! Here's your boy Parker!...The Dragons won two tough games this week!

I am off to Nebraska EARLY Saturday...will miss my other son's series. UMHB won their first game tonight, though. GO CRU! Sweep 'em up!

Please come meet me at the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art. The Artist's reception for "Last Year on the Farm: Seasons of 24" is THIS Sunday, March 30, from 4 - 7. David City, NE...

See you there!

Spring Winter Spring

"Spring Winter Spring"....6x8...$175 still wet

I went out today into the nearby farmlands with my friend Denise (a great artist!)...we both liked this spot, and painted till the wind blew all our sleeves and shirttails into our paint too much...I liked the layers of land, here which seemed to alternate between spring greens and winter drab.

On the way home we swung by my old farm where I painted the 365 paintings of our Last Year on the Farm. A couple days ago there was a big grass fire there. It was awful looking. I hope it greens up before I paint my One Last Day on the Farm. On April 9, I'll go out there and paint 24 paintings in 24 hours for the last time on this farm. The paintings will be sold IMMEDIATELY...no waiting for a show to finish! Keep watching here for details or e-mail me vvaughan8@yahoo.com.

Well, I have taken to the backroads! On Amity Road between Salado and Belton, TX I stopped to sketch the cows and a little bit of springtime emerging in central Texas! It's still too soon for the pecans to bud, though! Someone texted me while I was there, and I sure am curious to know who it was!!!

Pena at the Plate

"Pena at the Plate".....oil on linen panel....$150

I bet my friends and assistants, Linda Pena and Teri G. opened this one to see what "Pena" I mentioned in the title...sorry Linda, this is Ernest Pena, a senior for the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where my son, Tanner is a pitcher. They played a TOUGH series this this weekend and in the third game the bats came alive to win the series! Ernest had a triple to pile on some runs at the end, and Tanner pitched for the W. Congratulations to the nationally ranked CRU!!!

Here's some news about my next Rockport, TX Plein Air Workshop Day:

We’ll Start at sunrise at Cove Harbor for a demo and a quickie of the sunrise over the marshy grasses. Then we’ll stay for some sketches in the boat yard, while the light is still good. Work in pencil or paint, but we’re working on the DRAWING in a painting….and that doesn’t mean just LINES!

Happy Spring

"Last Year on the Farm 3-20-2006"......happy Springtime!

There will be ONE LAST DAY on the FARM for me!

I will paint for 24 hours on April 9 - 10...a tentative date, which will depend on the weather...

I will go back and do 24 small paintings in 24 hours. The paintings will be sold on my web site in MAY. I will give everyone plenty of warning.

The next batch of books are on the way, and I now have a HARD BOUND edition, which is nice, but costs more.....today was the first day of SPRING!!!

Round Rock at Bat

"Round Rock at Bat"....sketch from life....

Let me explain...I sketched this last week at the Mary Hardin Baylor game vs. Sul Ross State.

The batter is Steven "Round Rock" Reinlie, my son's roommate and the clean-up hitter. He had 2 or 3 homeruns in this series! He got his nick-name for his home town high school.

Mary Hardin Baylor is in the American Southwest Conferene and is currently ranked #20 in the nation at Div 3. Go CRU!!

Now, My other son is in high school and currently plays for Round Rock High!

"Last Year on the Farm: Four Seasons" opened today at the BRAND NEW Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art in David City, NE. My work is their PREMIER exhibit...and maybe hastened the opening of this FINE small museum. http://www.bonecreek.org is a one page overview of the museum...soon to be a fine web site....it's just SO NEW!

Third Green Fields

"Third Green Fields"....6x8....$150

I painted three little ones of the infield...all during the 1st game of a double header on Saturday. Here is third base. I posted first and second on the previous 2 days. They ALMOST line up if you place them side by side, but I did not mean to create a "triptich" (correct my spelling, please).

These give me a foundation for composition next time I paint at a ball game! I will certainly put players into the scenes next time, but these I like "as is"....you can almost smell the grass!

Green Fields at Second

"Green Fields at Second"....6 x 8...oil...$150

Yesterday was First, today is Second...guess what tomorrow will be! The fields and mowed patterns remind me a little of farm land. To show the abstract space and distance on the field is my goal.

Right after I posted last night at about midnight, I got a call from my college ballplayer son, Tanner, who is just crazy about these paintings!

I promised him I'd do the pitcher's mound...his favorite place. :)

Green Fields at First

"Green Fields at First"....6 x 8 oil....$150

Guess where I was all weekend. Out in the fields! Not farm fields, this time...but happy to have brought my paints to the ball field in Abilene, TX as Mary Hardin-Baylor whupped up on Hardin Simmons. A couple of Baptist Universities battling it out. My team came out on top (UMHB), and my son pitched a couple of fine innings in a Saturday win.

The mower patterns have always enthralled me...I did three little paintings Saturday. This is #1, and it has some really nice brush work. E-mail me if you want to see it bigger.

Farmer's Market

"Farmer's Market"....11 x 14 oil on linen....Available in Tennessee

Last Summer I painted this while visiting my gallery and doing some business with them in Kingsport, TN. Mike and Lisa Anne gave me a whirlwind tour of that entire Tri-Cities area, and I plan to return there this summer! Their gallery, Up Against the Wall Galery represents my work in that part of the country. I am getting ready to ship this one to them, framed nicely.

I began it on location, planning to finish it from the photos I took...now I cannot find the photos, so I worked the foreground from memory...what an exercise that was!

The books have been re-ordered, but we are SOLD OUT for now.

"03-13 A Year Ago".....6 x 8 oil.....ship to you wet for $150

I just finished this one in my studio, looking at photos I took on this day last year on our farm.

In fact, I DISTINCTLY remember painting that cool morning, when I look at the painting I did that morning.

See it on my web site . CLick "Last Year on the Farm" and go to March, then the 13th. Of course it was painted en plein air, and is much better than this little studio memory...

Speaking of "Last Year..." THE BOOKS ARE SOLD OUT!
If you ordered one TODAY you will get ine of the last few, but GOOD NEWS! I ordered about 50 more, so if you want one of those, please e-mail me!

First to Spring

"First to Spring"______6x8_________$150 to the first one to ask!
At exactly this time last year, I was driving back from teaching in Rockport, and as the fog cleared over this farm, I stopped to snap a few pictures...The grass is the first to spring. Pecan trees will be the last hold-outs of winter. That's what I see in this painting.
This is my first spring away from our farm, but I will go out there to paint one LAST DAY there in April. I will sell the paintings in a special way, so please stay tuned.
Something new for me: I will get to watch spring emerge on a friend's farm (ranch?) this year. She has asked me to paint her place, so, on Thursday, I will go take a look and introduce myself to some land that is just as special to someone else as my farm was to me.
By The way, I have just FIVE BOOKS LEFT! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO GOT ONE!!!
I will try to re-order soon. If you want one from the first printing e-mail me right away :)

Sam on the mound

Samuel on the Mound from my sketchbook, Friday

It was a good weekend for the Round Rock Dragons (freshman team). They won all their games and came from behind a couple times. This kid pitched a pretty good 4 or 5 innings and had a good record behind the plate, too!

It's spring break and today I started painting the farm again!

Well, I have about 10,000 photos I took over the years, and I have had the urge to paint from them lately! I am going to present some "daily paintings" for the next few days...small FARM paintings that can go to whoever wants them first!

Duck on the Mound

"Duck

on the

Mound"

From my

Sketchbook

It's a baseball weekend, and I already have been to two games, with four more to go! I do not usually sketch the opponants, but this young pitcher from the "other team"was my warm-up sketch, yesterday. I happened to be sitting in front of his parents (who told me that his nickname is "Duck").

He was a fine pitcher, dueling it out with my son who pitched for the Round Rock Dragons (freshmen).

Round Rock won.

The place where the sun came up was not always east, and a certain place on my north-facing deck never saw sun in the wintertime. But, hot summer skies are still my favorite. "Below my studio deck, the farm sloped toward the east to the area I called "The Pens". This area changes the most (with the seasons), so I liked to paint it best. The seasons brought new color and textures, and the cows came and went. Life happened at the pens..."

Cropped Sunlight

"Cropped Sunlight" oil on linen panel 11 x 14

I just finished this one, today, after starting it in South Carolina. The horse was from a photo of a farm neighbor of ours.

It was a demo for the SC Junior Duck Stamp artists. They were a great audience! I started this one to show how to "block in" a painting using big shapes. I laid down paint thinly in all the big areas. Once I got it home, I decided to really lay down some paint here. The heavy texture of the paint was worked over with a palette knife first, then a brush.

Last Print...so far

"Looking Forward"....a giclee, 6 x 8 on canvas $75 + shipping ($10)
I will repeat some of what I said in the blog / mail, for the past few days...I do not like to make prints of my work, but when I get a lot of requests, I WILL do a limited edition of usually 3 to 5 prints. Because the farm paintings are being shown all over the place, I will do a few more reproductions this year than usual.
There are 10 in this edition, above, a reproduction of January 6, 2007, from
the Last Year on the Farm series. I call this one "Looking Forward". The original is sold. It is the painting I chose for the cover for my book and for the advertising I have done in Southwest Art and Wildlife Art Magazines.

The limited edition prints are signed and numbered canvas giclee reproductions, stretched and ready to frame. Please let me know if you want one!Remember, the book is available NOW, too! I am getting great feedback from happy customers!

Low Places: Limited Edition of 10

"Low Places Last Year"....a giclee, 6 x 8 on canvas $75 + shipping ($10)

I will repeat some of what I said in the blog / mail, yesterday and two days ago...
I do not like to make prints of my work, but when I get a lot of requests, I WILL do a limited edition of usually 3 to 5 prints. Because the farm paintings are being shown all over the place, I will do a few more reproductions this year than usual.

There are 10 in this edition, above, a reproduction of Feb. 8, 2007 from

the Last Year on the Farm series. I call this one "Low Places". The original is sold. It was most recently displayed at American Women Artists National Show in Scottsdale, AZ.

The limited edition prints are signed and numbered canvas giclee reproductions, stretched and ready to frame. Please let me know if you want one!
Remember, the book is available NOW, too! I am getting great feedback from happy customers!
