Todays painting is a 3-D construction from an image taken by O. Winston Link who shot the last years of steam powered trains especially those used in the eastern part of the U.S. This is from 1955 in North Carolina, the Abington line. This was a black and white photo that I re-imagined in color.

Todays painting is of a tree blocking the sun. This is down in Detroits abandoned waterfront park on the east side. I should say its been abandoned by everyone but the fishermen. They drive right up to the edge of the water in their vehicles on dirt paths created by daily fishing trips, other than that it is overgrown and the paved roads are badly deteriorated. Its quite an interesting area.

Todays painting is of my beloved M-30 bridge over the Tittabawassee river. The piers on this bridge were always a bit brutish to climb up on and the road way to busy for us to jump off of. Which is why I prefer the old Curtis road bridge farther down the river. It has since been replaced and doesn't have the same charm anymore. The M-30 bridge however is just kind of an old grey battleship, you can't really give it a hug like you could the Curtis road bridge, but I love its consistency and its epic nature.

Todays painting is of a house in our neighborhood, and there is just something about the way the street lights light up this guys fence thats drives me nuts (in a good way).
