This is another painting I did as a commision. It was for a string musician teacher and I think it fit the bill.

This was a commisioned painting I did a few weeks ago. I think its pretty funny. I would love to have been there to find out if this women got out unscathed, she sure doesn't seem too concerned.

Todays painting is looking up through the treetops while standing inside a stand of trees planted by farmers to keep their crop from blowing away. The trees are planted in rows like crops and are a strange type of woods, with only one species present.

Mack And Gratiot

sold

Todays painting is of an unoccupied house/buisness on Gratiot. I hesitate to say abandoned because it seems in good enough shape, but lord knows the last time an actual business operated out of there. I liked the wild flowers and weeds growing like crazy off the street and the shadows and disappearing view down Gratiot.

Wind Break

Wind Break

Oil on birch panel, 2010, 5"x 7"

sold

Todays painting is of a patch of trees called a wind break, usually cedar or pine which grow fast and straight. They are planted in rows like crops, and standing inside of one is at the same time kind of eerie and like being in a cathedral of sorts. A cathedral of nature and yet still man-made and eerie because it seems like the woods but something is a little off with them.

Todays painting is again of the Tittabawassee river, with a much catchier title than the first one. This is again dealing with blocked light and silhouettes, something I'm very much into right now.

Todays painting is of the beautiful Fisher building at sunset from the I-75, I-94 interchange just before I crashed into the barrier. Just kidding! Although I have hit that particular barrier before but I wasn't driving. A Larry Bird look alike was (I kid you not) but it was ok because it was his brothers car.

Todays painting is of the Tittabawassee river near where the Tobacco river empties into it. I think thats the way it works anyway. The sun being momentarily blocked by a tree on a piece of farm land thats grown feed corn, and had cows grazing among other uses. I've been away on vacation and it feels good to be painting again.
