Plein Air New Orleans Acrylic 5 x 7



SOLD

I was watching a Plein Air artist in a open air market in New Orleans. It had started to rain so he stopped painting and I started taking pictures. One has to be fast to capture those reflections before they dry up.

Cingue Tere Italy has the most beautiful water I have ever seen. The boats tethered in the sleepy harbor were painted every color of the rainbow and made such wonderful subjects for my daily paintings.

Thistle Play Acrylic 6 x 6



SOLD

There is just something about cows that makes me want to paint them. I think its their energy. They seem as though they don't have a care in the world and when I paint I don't either.

There's nothing like a little Friday Afternoon Club merriment even when its raining. Walking the streets on Friday in the drizzle I thought what fun it would be to celebrate the end of a long work week with a refreshing libation to start my weekend.

Twilight in Paris Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

This scene was taken on a walk back to my hotel in Paris. There was wonderful live music tickling my ears and delightful smells coming from the abundant little restaurants that lined the street on both sides. This time a day is when magic happens. Lights begin to come on and a whole new energy begins to take over. I love the city life!

Vibrant Reflections Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

Bringing color onto the ground isn't a problem in this composition. I think one of the reasons I like painting rain scenes is reflections pull color to place you don't usually see it. It's like a two for one sale at the grocery store.

The Big Blue Easy Acrylic 7 x 5

This lady had such a confident stride and was deep in thought because when I complimented her on her blue umbrella she wasn't even aware that I had spoken to her. Then I looked closer and figured out she was listening to her IPOD. Am I bad?

Late Afternoon Acrylic 5 x 7



















The light in this image is what really caught my eye. Sometimes I take for granted the spectacular quality to the light in the southwest, it's so crisp and clean that often times I get comments from people that it can't actually look like that. Oh,... but it does and what fantastic paintings it makes! I hope it speaks to you as much as it does to me.

Stormy Acrylic 5 x 7

I was driving around town on the hunt for my rainy scenes. I was using the view finder of my camera as guidance in traffic. It makes for some interesting driving skills but fantastic compositions. This storm had just roared past over the hill and I was in its wake to capture the essence of its effect on the city.

Three Wheeler Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

Finding interesting images to paint isn't hard for me. One of the aspects of creating these daily paintings is that I can explore and paint so many of the images that excite my creative process that otherwise wouldn't get painted for along time. This one happens to be a scene taken last fall in Denver. The three wheeled buggy was taking newlyweds to their wedding reception! Enjoy!
