Back to class

Sorry for the hiatus in posting. We are bck in Florida and I'm back in class. These are the first efforts. Not great, but whatever.....

A small commission

This is a  present for a lady who loves blue. It will be travelling to the Seattle area for Christmas.

Beach Walk

This painting was inspired by a cover photo on a local visitor's guide. I tried to convey the heavy air of a cloudy day when Lake Michigan is comparatively still.

Latest Paintings

These most recent paintings are views of the property near our cabin. They will be part of an exhibit of my work at the Douglas Congregational United Church of Christ in Douglas, Michigan during the month of August.

I'm on a roll

I actually have three paintings in various stages of completion. After almost 2 years of inactivity, I really feel great about it. Gregg commissioned this one for this year's Christmas card. He took so much flak over the photo on last year's card "Flipping off Christmas".

Graham

July 4th weekend is almost here and I finally finished the portrait of my youngest grandchild who will be arriving for the weekend. We have hung it beside his bed. I hope he recognizes himself. He is the last of the grandchildren to be painted. Maybe he's the last of the grandchildren????

Painting again!

This is the finished painting I started in September '09 and have been staring at ever since. Our pastor asked me to have an exhibit at our church this summer and this was the motivation I needed.

The unfinished work is shown above for contrast.
