Several years ago, I purchased a 1973 pinball machine. The grandkids love playing it. I've always thought
about doing a painting. Finally, did it.

This is a bit of a change for me as far as subject matter. In addition, I did the painting using only posterboard stencils instead of frisket.
I used Spectra art tissue to do the abstract background. The tissue bleeds color when moist.
I found this toy land "little people" radio at a flea market recently. I liked the bright colors, so I decided to use it in my latest painting.
I pushed the "Rule of Thirds" compositional element a bit on this one.
My grandson and I were a flea market several years ago when I purchased this vintage Little People
boat. I told him we would try to float it on the pond at our estate. Unfortunately, that never happened. Now he is probably too old to enjoy playing with toys of this type. I decided to use the boat in my latest "Little People" painting.
This is another piece in the "Little People" series. It seems this one has a more surrealistic look.
The Rockcliffe Mansion series continues. Once again this was a challenge working with the darks and lights.
We were snowed under like much of the middle of the country this past weekend. Travelling to our small hometown I saw this train travelling by the crossing. Without my 35 mm camera I decided to photograph the scene with my smartphone camera. I had to make a few adjustments in the painting process to make it work.
