Here’s a shot of the gallery. Notice the works are framed. My cloe-ups have excluded the frames since there is a significant glare problem with them.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  4. What an all around wonderful post, John. I would have been onboard for the pan roasted grouper alone (ages since I’ve had that fish), but I very much enjoyed seeing these paintings. The water scenes felt particularly refreshing. Linda AND the Eagles? How could I resist? Big hugs!

  5. I like these all, John. There’s a lot of talent on display here, particularly his ability to capture light and reflections. I love the way he brings the water and stormy nights to life.

    I’ll have the grouper and charred cabbage.

  17. So much to like about these works of art! I especially appreciate Norway Rapids, South Garden, and Coldwater Creek, but Bayside Getaway looks like an ideal writer’s retreat. Guess I’m leaning toward water things this day!

  19. Larry’s art is absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing these, John!

    These are the best pics you’ve take of art that I can recall.

    Was there glass over the paintings?

    A wonderful trip to the Lakeway City Hall!

    1. I took the photos from a distance to avoid lamp glare. Then I cropped the frames off and, by adjusting the vertical and horizontal settings, could achieve an aspect ratio that resembled a head-on shot, even though the work was at an eight-foot level. There was no glass, but the frames themselves had a significant glare. I’m so pleased you liked the shots since you are a master. Thanks for letting me know. 🐂 🐂 🐂 🐂

      1. Ahh, even with no glass, you had to resort to “technique”.
        Good on you! Yes, taking images that are higher than one, is difficult.
        I’ve climbed many fire escapes, and snuck up on porches or steps.
        Definitely a 4 OXer, an OinX and some salad! 🥗X

  21. Beautiful work! I thought I’d pick a favorite, but that’s a challenge. Common nature scenes with a unique style. Thank you for sharing, including the song. 🎶

  23. Thanks for the tour, John. The paintings are lovely, such vivid colors and texture. I’ll have the pan-roasted grouper, please. It’s a favorite of mine, but one that neither Greg nor I have gotten the knack of cooking groups as well at home as we’d get in a restaurant. And that song is one of my favorites!

  24. I love these paintings. I was feeling a tad Van Gogh-ish with several of them, including my favorite, the cat. What a lovely tour, and made all that much better with some redfish and a Voodoo!
