"Green Island"

There is a proposed 90 million dollar resort going onto this little Island just 5 miles out from my backyard. The lighthouse has long since disappeared but when I painted this circa 1970 it was uninhabited, visited only by local boats for picnics, etc.

...yet another scan from a book of paintings I did years ago. I think I had a title but must have forgotten to record it.

"Galena"

My home town of Galena, Illinois still fascinates me. This is something I scanned from a book of watercolor paintings I did many years ago. The colors didn't come out quite right but close enough.

"Winter" If this looks familiar it's because I have done this scene before. Of course every watercolor is different.

"Millbrig"

During my wanderings looking for painting subjects I keep my eyes open for cows in a stream. Lately I haven't seen anything that inspired me to paint so yesterday I took some old photos I had of cows in pastures and made up a composition and created my own steam. I named it after a stream near my old home town of Galena, Illinois because my uncle years ago had a cottage there. We used to have family picnics that always included swiming or wading. Usually it was necessary to share the stream with cows.

I love to capture the moood of a time and place.
