"Stonnington"
I took a few liberties with this scene at the old lighthouse in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  Now I wish I had put a few seagulls in the painting as I had done in a previous work at this location.  Usually I work out the composition in my head before painting and if I had done that seagulls would have been included.

"Geese"   I used this same basic composition in a previous painting but painted this one in a little different manner...hope you like it.

"Ephemerella dorothea"   I was honored to have this painting selected to be on the cover of Ministry Health's  summer issue of Health Connection.  It is on ministryhealth.org/Summer2011.  The title confuses some.  It is the name of the Mayfly in the picture, commonly called the Green Drake.

"Floral 5/11/11"

I don't paint many florals, especially cut flowers in a vase, but I just had the urge to do this one.

"Early Instruction"

We live on the Bay of Green Bay here in Wisconsin and every year we are able to watch several families of geese raise their young. It is rather amazing to see the progression of the lessons taught and learned. Of course the little pond I depicted here is not the Bay of Green Bay.

"Brule River" Trout season is almost here and that means it is time to get the gear ready - like I haven't been doing that all winter. I think my fishing tackle gets more wear from me arranging and rearranging it all winter than it gets from actual fishing.
This is a favorite spot-both for fishing and for camping.

"Geese"

I decided to use my source material for a former painting titled "Late Supper" and change the composition a little...hope you like it.
