Seeking The safety Of Shadows

"Cascade"

 With all the rain we were lucky to get this spring, the creek on our neighbor's property was roaring.  11x14 Oil

"Mallards on Pistol River"

 A fast and loose small painting of a pair of mallards.  Had fun on this one. 8x8 Oil

"White Tulips"

 Stepping out of my very restrictive box to do a still life. I find painting still lifes as exciting as watching paint dry, hence I never do them.  These white tulips at my sisters house with the modern black glass wall oven behind and a light source in a room behind to the right as well as another to the left of the scene was to good to pass up.  Start to finish 1 1/2 hours.  I was channeling Matisse. Hope I didn't disappoint him. 12x9 oil

"A Prickly Situation"

 A triptych based on a photo I took while visiting So. Cal. last month. The colors of the cactus and the blooms were so inspiring. Each panel is 24" x 8"  Oil

"Pistol River Bridge"

 Was able to sneak out yesterday, one of a rare sunny days lately and painted this view of the Pistol River Bridge from Carpenterville Road.  8 x 24 Oil

"Bolsa Chica Wetlands"

 Visited family in So. Cal. last month and hiked thru the wetlands.  It was a sunny, cool day.
