"THE LAST LIGHT"

After hours of driving I pulled off on the side of the highway to get out and stretch my legs. Leaning back against my van and relaxing, I felt a warm summers breeze sweep easily over me from this wonderful Nebraskan landscape. Looking around I turned just in time to see these grain silos way off in the distance catch the last light of the setting sun and I thought," what a fantastic country this is".   Oil on canvas 40x40 inch gallery wrap. This is going to be an up-coming blog painting that will be posted to "Skies the Limit"

"STILL OPEN?"





















Late night, a little hungry and tired after a long days drive it was good to find a place that is still open.  A nice hot cup of coffee, a slice of pie I now can sit back and reply my camera on today's shoot.  Deleting some, keeping others, deciding on what might I paint and how large will I make the painting.  Downing my third cup of Jo and finishing "I must say" a great piece of lemon-meringue pie I knew I had some good material to keep me busy painting.  Now it's time to find a rood and sleep.  This is the third in the series for Chemers gallery that I will deliver once dry.  This is a 12x12 oil on canvas.... I just might do bigger, mmmm!

"HEADING WEST"

For me it was like finding a long lost friend.  This painting was lost in the shuffle of a galleries inventory, when the relation ended this painting reappeared and was shipped back to me.  Yes I to am at blame for not keeping closer tabs, but, it all has a happy ending, I got my baby back and can re-introduce it.  This painting came about from me being on a road at the right time.  I was heading back to California when out of the corner of my eye I saw this red pickup coming down a dusty road, I slowed letting him get in front, as the truck entered into my lane I was excited to see the pillbox air-stream in tow, reached for my trusty camera, took one shot knowing my next painting was locked inside...  This is an oil on canvas 36x24 and will be "unless sold" in my summer show where I know it will find a home. For serious interest email me. schwartzart@earthlink.net     (Sold)

"HEY TAXI!" & "LATE NIGHT TAKEOUT"


This two canvas are apart of a series of three at this moment for Chemers gallery to add to what they have already of my canvas paintings.  These are 12x12 gallery wrapped so no framing is needed although Chemers has a fine and extensive line of frames to be had.  And you might look at my blog site to see more of my daily paintings.
