Sunday at the Beach

I'm trying to stay on track with my painting...quite a challenge. If I just didn't have to work and pay bills, taxes, etc...Oh well.

Anyway, I was back up at Lake Michigan recently and was agian inspired to do some small paintings. I love the Lake.

It was a breezy and somewhat cool day but the sun was out and it was absolutely beautiful.

This is a 5" x 7" oil on linen panel that I was inspired to create. This little boy was with his mom and dog, and was having the best time. It was fun just watching him have a great time.

If anyone is interested in this painting just let me know.

Mel O Cream Chocolate Glazed

Well, I am trying to get back to my painting, my 'paintings a day', as well as my blogging. These seem to be challenging tasks for me right now, but here I am...this is a start, again.

This is a lucious little chocolate glazed donut that somehow seems more impressive and important set on the fine china (Richelieu, sp???). It is a simple little morsel that is elevated by its presentation (not unlike people ??). This is an oil on canvas, 4" X 6", if you are interested in it let me know.

I'm going to wrap it up now.

Lazy,Hazy Days of Summer

Well, I have been busy but not at the easel (unfortunately). Anyway, I have been neglecting my blog and decided that I will post images of art that I have created in the past. I would rather have new work to show but....?

This was a commission from a few years ago...it seemed appropriate to post a beach scene in the middle of July. I guess I am hoping that if I look at it long enough it will transport me to the beach too. The pastel painting is of four brothers.

Hope you enjoy it. I will try not to stay away so long.

St.John's Hospital Mural

Okay, well....I am still not back on track yet....haven't gotten any 'paintings a day' or 'aceo's' completed....just extremely busy. Anyway, I decided to post a photo of part of a mural I painted at one of the local hospitals....it is between the children's hospital and the main hospital. I will post photos of the rest of it another time. Enjoy.
