USS Texas

USS Texas

From a photo I saw in some Naval Archives. Do not remember which one. One of the first battleships after the conversion from partial steam and sail to full steam. The expression became common from its use During the civil war. In 1864, Rear Admiral David G. Farragut (first 4 star Admiral) used this expression in the battle of Mobile Bay to get his Navy advance quickly. Today this expression can be used while you work on any project. So full steam ahead! Lets paint 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas

USS Constitution

artpal for prints and other things

A painting for some dear friends Lee and Christina. I usually don't paint from stock photos, but it was tough to get one otherwise.  

"Goliath" 16" X 20 " Acrylic on canvas.  Goliath is a fish that live in the little pond in our back yard.  Some of you may recall the Doonesbury Pond. Its a bit like that. I don't recall the name yet, but if I do I will edit it.  Its a little pond that we put a gold fish in about a year ago.  we thought he didn't make alone with his other friends. (Its a whole other story to that one) He managed to survive and grow quite big on his own after just one year.  Just made himself known one day and I thought that he deserved a painting. Now he Visits us when I give him treats and has started to recognize us.

Single Koi In A Pond

"Single Koi In A Pond"  The picture for this was taken by Rachna Pitts.   I love how koi move in that water and changes the way we see the pond with every movement.  16" X 20" acrylic on canvas 

Grosse Point Light House

     Grosse Point Light House.  From a picture Rachna took while in Chicago. Il.  A painting I forgot to get on the blog site.   In this painting I was trying to achieve a sense that the lighthouse is there with the trees.  In a sense create a "lighthousness and treeness" I was responding to the image and not necessarily create a replica of the trees and the lighthouse.  Visit my ArtPal site for high quality prints.   Thanks for coming to see my work. I hope you enjoyed it. David Sold
