Quail Gallery

With the beginning of a new year, and with lots of enthusiasm and a little fear and trepidation, I introduce a new blog for my fine art creations.  This site will contain some of my former creations and many of my new pieces as they are created.  Many of these works, or reproductions of them, are for sale.  Many have been sold as original works or in some cases have been sold as reproductions.  I work in a variety of mediums and enjoy them all.  I hope you will enjoy my works of art and perhaps add a few to your collections.


I usually create at least one piece each year that I call my seasonal piece.  The oil painting I did this past Christmas is of Santa Claus showing reverence to the Christ Child.  It's not a new idea, but I'm unaware of any other quite like it.  The original is oil on canvas and is 20" wide and 24" high.  It is for sale for $575.00 unframed, and $700.00 framed.  I have 8"x10" prints that are matted to 11"x14" I'm selling for $35.00.  Shipping costs vary depending on the carrier and distance.  The average shipping cost is about $8.00 for the matted prints.

This is a pencil drawing I did for Christmas, 1998.  I did it as a Christmas gift for friends and family.  It became the composition for the oil painting above it.


For Christmas, 2009 I created a computer illustration of Santa searching for the Christ Child.  I created it from a watercolor painting I did in 1998.  The original watercolor is 22" wide by 28" high.  Currently I am selling 8'x10" prints of this computer illustration for $30 with a matte.  The matte size is 11"x14".  I'm considering selling the original, or at least prints of the original, but haven't done so yet.  The original watercolor is framed and really ads to the true spirit of Christmas, as even Santa is focused on finding the Christ Child.
