More Tango Sweethearts - original oil figurative painting
Here's my favorite reason for putting paint on board - my tango dancing couple who never tire of this wonderful dance. Check out this site for dancing info and how-to. The painting is 7 x 5" on Gessobord. Thanks so much for visiting - I'm signing off now from the hot, dry inferno that is Texas these days. Stay cool! Sold

Solitaire - original oil figurative painting
I play solitaire pretty often so maybe that's why painting someone playing the game appeals to me. It's a no win - or seldom win - game. In fact, I read the other day that a player only wins one out of 31 times. Terrible odds, but I keep at it. I even have a book on the different types of solitaire. I play Klondike, which is the kind my grandmother taught me and from what I can tell, it's the one most people play.
This painting is on 7 x 5" Gessobord. Thanks for visiting Hackberry Street Studio!

Cello Practice - original figurative oil painting
This quick painting is on 10 x 8" archival canvas board. I've been wanting to do a painting of a cello player and this is an oil sketch toward that goal. I'll do a few more to better understand the position of the player and the instrument before I do a larger painting. This was fun - thanks so much for stopping by!

Cezannesque - original figurative oil painting
I saw this artwork - which was probably a Cezanne poster since I did see a little printing on it - in a coffee shop. I loved it and was able to sketch the scene with some Caran d'Ache wax crayons - that are wonderful, by the way. Then I painted from my sketch back in my studio. It was pretty involved to get an accurate drawing of this artwork. My painting is on 6 x 6" Gessobord. Thanks so much for stopping by! Sold

New Year's Eve at the Bar - original oil figurative painting
If you're anywhere near San Antonio, Texas, be sure and visit the McNay. It's wonderful anytime, but until January 16th, the exhibition, Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism is there and what a show it is! Absolutely wonderful and inspiring. I attended briefly the other day, but intend to go back and take my time.
This painting is 8 x 10" on Gessobord. Thanks so much for stopping by and for visiting Hackberry Street Studio during 2010! I hope 2011 will be the greatest year yet for you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Model in a Red Kimono - original oil figurative painting
Here's another red kimono painting, this one is less 'finished' than some of the others, but the timer was set, so .....
The model was also standing on the floor, rather than a model stand, which gives a different perspective that I like to try from time to time. Fun to do. It's 10x8" on Gessobord. Thanks for looking!

The Visitor - original oil figurative painting
This painting is still very wet, so it's a little softer looking than it will be when it's drier. I think I must be a bit obsessed with the 'woman enters room - man is waiting in room' scenario, but I am always thinking of possible paintings like that. There are many options and all of them are delicious to me. Will do more of these, I know. "The Visitor" is on 7 x 5" Gessobord. Thanks so much for looking! P.S., I know he's going to stand up when the lady gets into the room. He is a gentleman, after all.

Coffee Break - original oil figurative painting
This scene was at an art museum, in the cute little cafe area they always have in museums. I love museum cafes and some of them have really tasty food, too. This couple was so happy and very chatty - just made me feel good to be nearby. And I loved her hair. It had a life of its own. Mine does, too, but not with the same results. The painting is on 6 x 6" Gessobord. Thanks so much for stopping by Hackberry Street Studio! Sold

Every Delicious Word - original oil figurative painting
I saw this girl the other day at a sandwich and sweet shop and I loved her involvement in her book - something I can totally identify with - so I did a quick little study and painted from it when I got back to my studio. She was happy to let me sketch her and she was a great model - talk about holding a pose! The painting is one of those where I set my timer, and absolutely no painting after it buzzes! It's 6 x 6" on Gessobord. Thanks for stopping by!
