I was draw to an old schoolhouse. I pulled over and got out of my truck and started taking pictures, I will paint the schoolhouse soon enough but this bicycle leaning against a shed off to the side was a perfect picture. I had to paint it. ]]> Watercolor Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:53:22 -0400 "Riding Through Kansas", 16" x 20", watercolor - In my travels across the country, I pulled off the Interstate onto Highway 99 in Hinerville, Kansas.

It is the side wall of an antique shop called Bowerbird and Friends. The haphazard arrangement of pots and miscellaneous items coupled with the bottles in the windows were a must paint for me. 18" x 36", oil on canvas.]]> Landscape Oil Paintings Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:32:27 -0500 Just one of those things that really caught my eye when wandering around downtown Peterborough, N.H.

He told me Grant Wood use to paint under that tree. So, that's how this painting got it's name. 11" x 14", oil on panel.]]> Landscape Oil Paintings Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:34:32 -0400 Sometimes when I go out to paint, I have an idea in my head of what I want to find to paint. Such was the case when I traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park in October. I asked for ideas at the visitor center and the suggestion was an area of beautiful fall foliage. I took note but I was really more interested in the mountains themselves. Driving up into the peaks was amazing but there didn't seem to be a good place to paint. The wind also discouraged me from setting up my gear. It was when I'd crossed the Continental Divide and began descending that I saw the perfect place to paint. It was getting late so I was only able to start my painting but I was able to finish from photographs once back in my studio.

I hope to return someday earlier in the summer. 11" x 14"]]> New Paintings Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:59:11 -0500 Sometimes when I go out to paint, I have an idea in my head of what I want to find to paint.
