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.

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).
