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.

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 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.

sold

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.
