Bus Ride at Dawn

Sold  18 by 24 inches,  Acrylic on acid free illustration board
This school bus travels down the gravel road near our home each weekday morning during the school year. One morning I was walking my dogs and noticed this stunning scene as the bus travelled down the road to make a right turn onto the highway.  The painting was challenging in that the dark values had to be exact to make the scene work.

Autumn Splendor

Click to Bid,  8 by 10 inches,  Acrylic on acid free illustration board
My previous painting "Autumn Dream" was painted using reference photos from a few years ago.  I recently returned to that location to take new reference photos.  This painting is based on those photos.  Within the last week the majority of our tree foliage has turned to an orange and burnt-orange mixture.  I was lucky to capture those colors in my reference photos.

November Flurries

(SOLD)  18 by 24 inches,   Acrylic on board
This painting depicts a scene I walk each day.  The gravel road was constructed in the 1950s by my great uncle who owned our estate at that time.

I've painted scenes from this hay field before.  I painted a cast tree shadow to create another element in the composition.

This painting is a departure from my usual pieces.  It is basically from my imagination although it does resemble some local places.  Of course my goal here is to suggest a mood which is different from my photo realistic artworks.

House Near the Interstate

My fascination with houses built in the first half of the 20th century continues with this painting.  I especially like painting houses from this time period that are in a rural setting.
