This scene has everything I enjoy painting: organic shapes, hard reflective surfaces, interesting sunlight and reflections.

Mi Casamigo, Su Casamigo
This is the fourth in my 'Distill Life' series, tequila and lime. This was painted at request of the Milward Farrell Gallery in Madison, WI. If you're in the Madison area, I recommend a stop in to see some great art.

In the Shade
All the different greens attracted me to this scene. I liked the warm green grass in the foreground compared to the cool green grass in the shadows and on the van. Then there's the warm dark greens in the background.

Stopping for Chocolate
I never know when I'm going to see a scene I want to paint. I was sitting in Mob Craft Brewing looking out the window and saw this man waiting at the corner. I loved the long late afternoon shadows and bright highlights on his pants and face.

Go Green
Another painting from southern California. I love the composition of the old green pickup, modest houses and background mountains.

Roadtrip
16" x 20" Oil on canvas
During a visit to southern California recently I came across this classic 1965 VW Beetle and was given a tour of it by the very generous owner who noticed me admiring it on the street. What a beauty! Loved the old suitcase in the trunk!
