Behind Mass Street


 12" x 9" oil on panel

We were out to dinner with our son in Lawrence, KS and had outside seating in the back. The sun was low and setting and I could see the orange glow from that brick wall from my seat so I ran out to the alley. I loved the interplay between the purples and blues in the shadows with the bright orange of the brick and reflected in the windows. And, of course, I love those puddles!

Lauderdale Sunset

20" x 16" Oil on canvas panel

We spent a long weekend down in Florida and I took the picture I painted this from on our first night as we climbed the stairs to our room. It was a beautiful, warm evening in December and we weren't in Illinois!!

Path to Pickets

12" x 9" oil on panel

We were taking a walk in the Old Town neighborhood of Huntsville and walked by this scene while the shadow from the right was almost touching the house on the left. I loved the composition but wanted less shadow so I made a note to walk by an hour earlier tomorrow to get the picture I wanted. Fortunately, I got a sunny day too!
