Evening Water - Oil on 11 x 14 Canvas Panel - I've had this one on the back burner for some time now. So, today overcast and raining, I decided to paint it. I've attmpted to show a generally warm painting yet maintain the mystery of dark water. I hope I've achieved it. Your comments are welcome.

The Gondola - I guess by now you've noticed that I like to paint boats plus a little water. I, if you haven't, noticed that my technique or way I approach the canvas has changed of late, or I should say is changing with every new painting. I don't know how to or can't explain why, it just is. I'm not sure that I'm OK with the change, however I'm getting good results and feedback of late so I guess I'll just keep on letting it flow and see what happens. Your comments are welcome.

Three Boats - Sometimes Lois and I travel down I-5 to the turn off and head west to Whimpy's Marina and have dinner. This painting is reminiscent of some of the scenery we see while dining there. The restaurant overlooks the harbor and the windows allow for great views. The sun and images reflect off the water and can be spectacular at times. The food is good too and they also have a bar if care for a cocktail or beer. Your comments are welcome.

Mid America - Kansas - A new painting from another of my old photographs taken sometime in the 1980s. The location is somewhere near Minneapolis, Kansas according to the back of the original photo. Since my wife and I recently (August 2011) traveled very close to Minneapolis, KS on US Highway 81, I can testify the countryside hasn't changed much; still very peaceful with an air of stability and roots.

Years ago I had a good friend while in the mortgage business here in California who was originally from Minneapolis, KS. We spend many hours (some of those hours over cocktails of course) discussing the stability and fiscal and emotional dependability indigenous to the people of that area that is developed by generations of citizens with strong constitutions and good values. I am guessing it's still true today. There is something about the mid west that I still to this day miss very much. I guess that's why I paint memories from that area often.

At the Sea – Another painting from a photo I took in I think Hawaii. We haven’t been there in ten or so years as there are many other places in the world to experience so we haven’t yet returned to Hawaii. The boat was beached and looked abandoned and if you’ve noticed, I’ve been doing some boat paintings lately so when I ran across this old picture it was just a natural thing to paint it.

Big Rock Lane - I took a picture of this place in I think the mid west many years ago when I used to travel for a living, however now that I think about it possibly it was Oregon or Washington . You get tired of all the traveling after a few years and it all runs together, however you never tire of what is out there to see here in the US. We still like to travel by auto and earlier this year took a sixty five hundred mile driving trip back to the mid west part of the country. It took more than a month to complete and when we finally got back home to California we were tired, but very happy with the whole trip. Your comments are welcome.

Boat With Shadow - Light and Shadows within my paintings have always fascinated me. The question is how do you invoke interest and character in a painting? Why not even discussion? I think deep shadows help. With that said I hope the lights and darks invite that discussion. Your comments are welcome.

Past Prime - It appears that of late I've had and interest in painting water scenes with moody or more thought provoking images. At least I they provoke thought within me which I find important at this time. Possibly, subconsciously I'm moving on to a new painting process as I noticed I'm doing somethings differently, who knows???

Venice In Fog -
Never having been to northern Italy this is my way of seeing or imagining it. We may get there in the next couple of years, health permitting. Possibly then I'll see how accurate I am.. Who knows? Your comments are welcome.
