Winter Canal



Winter Canal

Oil on Birch panel, 2011, 5"x 7"

sold

Todays painting is of a canal on Detroits east side. It was close to sundown and I like the how the foreground is dark and quiet, almost like its getting ready for bed.

Toy Houses


Toy Houses

Oil on Birch panel, 2011, 5"x 7"

sold

Todays painting is a nocturne. When I was finished I thought these houses looked like something from a diorama or a snow globe, thus the title of the piece.

Missing House


Missing House

Oil on Birch panel, 2011, 5"x 7"

sold

Todays painting is of an empty lot on Detroit's east side. I like the various colors the snow makes, the way it reflects light and the vibrancy of the different blues.

Snowy Street - Night


Snowy Street - Night

Oil on Birch panel, 2011, 5"x 7"

sold

Todays painting is another nocturne. I love the effect artificial light has at night especially on snow. I also was excited to try this composition which is divided in two halves. Dark on top, white on the bottom with a streak of blue green to help separate them.

Todays painting is a nocturne from the other night when it was snowing just after dark. People were still coming home from work and the neighborhood was quiet.
