Border Tourist 11x14 80.00

Today was my last day of work for the summer. For the past few summers, I've had the opportunity to travel, so I did. This summer however, I will be staying home. Frankly, I'm looking forward to working in the yard and getting some home projects accomplished that I've had on the backburner for quit a while. Therefore, this painting is in honor of those who will hit the road for some long awaited journey. I, on the other hand, plan to seek the pleasures of my own back yard. Dorothy was right. There is no place like home.

Sunlit Morning on Bridge 5x7 50.00

I am a sucker for scenes with an old world flair. Old structures of masonry with spirals that reach toward heaven have a sense of eternal stability that modern architecture does not possess. The American culture does not have the sense of history that European culture has. Many structures in Europe are older than our country. When I saw this scene, I knew I would try to paint it, a place I would like to visit. Do you think Walmart is down the street?
