Snowfall Michigan Morning

I love seeing fresh snow on the road right after sunrise. I perhaps did push the colors here slightly (sarcasm), but when you are traveling and the sun is starting to rise, it usually makes for a memorable day and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget. Although now I only remember this as a yellow sunrise.

This is on Chicago's south side. I lived in a house in Ferndale, Michigan that was very close to the tracks, and the sound of the train horn and the rumbling on the tracks was very soothing, especially at night.

Factory Roof

This daily Urban landscape painting is the roof of an abandoned factory in Gary, Indiana, although it could be anywhere, there are a million of these places in the old industrial mid-west. There is a sadness to some of these old forgotten bits of machinery and the forgotten lives they used to support.

The painting features a tug boat on the Rouge River inlet right off of the Detroit river with its lights twinkling in the oncoming darkness. The tug had just passed a drawbridge I was standing on when the alarm sounded and the bridge started doing its thing. I felt privileged to be there to witness what I thought was remarkable, but to the workers on the boat and the bridge operator I'm sure it was just business as usual.

This painting is is a view from a rooftop of an abandoned factory. The shadow struck me as well as the duct work or exhaust pipe or whatever it is, I thought it had a lot of character.
