Old Paintings--Oils--Probably From 1986

I found these paintings behind a bed at my mom's house. They are all from, approximately, 1986 but could be anywhere from up to about 1988. All are oils on canvas board.

The one to the left (and larger below) is of the fence outside my apartment at the University of Florida It is pretty large? Bigger than 18 x 24. The tree immediately below is the magnolia that used to be on the border between my mom and neighbor's house (it has some damage--some paper is stuck to it..needs fixed.) This one is maybe 16 x 20 ish Always loved the magnolia picture.

Below the magnolia is a painting of a small courtyard outside the art department at the University of Florida. This is a small painting--probably not even 8 x10. It was from an art class (the only formal class I ever took). The instructor liked it so much he hung it in a glass case in the hallway outside the class.

The one below that is a painting outside the back of the apartment where I lived. It is amusing to me how much it looks like paintings I am doing now but more colorful.

The final painting was another class painting. I had to do some still life. There were others but...they are lost....

    For many years I painted. Then I stopped. These paintings started out a sort of experiment. Even when I did paint I never did watercolor. I spent a lot of time trying to be Van Gogh painting oil. Most of the paintings were unfinished. I decided to start using watercolor based only on the recollections of what my father had tried to teach me years ago. The newer paintings are the more recent. If you go back to the beginning you can see the early stumbling ones.

    I didn't start by drawing, I didn't practice. I just painted. I haven't included ALL the paintings and at some point I will post the first ones I did. But most of the paintings--for good or ill are here. Some are oil and also gouache.
