Dove Lane at Blackberry, MN - Oil on 16 X 20 stretched Canvas

Dove Lane at Blackberry, MN – I painted this from a memory of my youth. The west end of Dove Lane actually led to a peninsula of land almost surrounded by the Mississippi river. In this case the frozen Mississippi is on the right.  A view from MapQuest indicates that house and outbuildings are still there. I knew the family that lived there and went to school with their children; I won’t name them as I don’t have permission to do so. In those days the winters were raw, windswept and cold and I wanted to depict that in the painting. I hope I’ve accomplished that. Painting this one was very difficult for me as I don’t usually use cool tones and just wasn’t used to working with them at all. I also discovered that painting snow was not as easy as it sounded and found it difficult. I think I repainted the front left of the painting three different times before I was happy with it.

At Night - I haven't been active of late. A combination of lost motivations and a little travel to hopefully increase the desire to put brush to canvas again.. I've wanted to do this painting for a long time so finally got around to it, actually I did it several months ago and then finished it today.. Your comments are welcome.

Night Floral - Light and shadows create the drama of this 8 x 10. The petals catch the light, create shadows to add to the three dimensional appearance as do the one flower within the depth of field and two beyond. Your comments are welcome.

The Surf by Moonlight - Watercolor on 8 x 11 140Lb CP Paper

NO LONGER AVAILABLE- 3/19/2009

The Surf by Moonlight - One of the joys of exotic south seas vacation spots is sitting on the deck with one of those drinks in a coconut shell and watching the sea glisten in the moonlight. The moonlight reflects off the surf and cloud formations. The light bounces off the water and creates images such as this one. Your comments are welcome.

MoonLight - I saw a movie a month or more ago that prompted me to schedual this painting. In the movie the electrical power had failed and there was a full moon. It reflected off the actors faces much like this likeness. The play of lights and darks was moving. I hope this piece is too. Your comments are welcomed.
