These children’s blocks still fascinate and are a source of some important historical information. Each block had alphabet characters and pictures of many things with the names printed below. Some had story or nursery rhyme characters printed as well and many of them later had cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse stamped into them. The blocks in this grouping are from two different sets and include a deer, hen, bear, and truck images printed one the side. One block is from a Mickey Mouse or Walt Disney set and the others are an alphabet set. Even today children’s blocks continue to be made but the old ones still have a classic style and quality that is unique.

This painting was done some years ago while on sabbatical visiting the Cathedral of Cologne (Koln), Germany during Carnival (Karneval). Cologne Carnival is one of the most famous celebrations in Europe and is the period right before Lent. In this case I went into a small restaurant for a sandwich and saw this group celebrating Carnival. Through the window I could see the carnival rides with the Cathedral in the background. The juxtaposition of the people, carnival rides and the Cathedral intrigued me so I decided to make this painting.
Because many of you have ask about larger paintings, I’ve decided to post some of my larger works and am planning some new larger works of the daily painting themes so you can see the difference in size or scale. If anyone is interested in this work or of seeing larger works of specific past small daily posts, you can send an email to my blog above.

This summer while cutting some low hanging branches from the maple tree near my driveway, I noticed something on the end of the branch I was about to trim. On closer inspection two unmoving baby hummingbirds were staring back at me from their nest. Obviously the branch didn’t get trimmed and I spent the next week photographing their progress until one day they left the nest and flew away. The branch is still there and the abandoned nest is slowly falling apart. From time to time I’ve spotted these two from a distance near the back woods. I don’t have a hummingbird feeder, but I’m now tempted to install one in the spring to see if I can entice them to show up more closely to the house.

The drawing for this has been on my table for a while. This swan in early morning light caught my eye and I want ed to share it. Light is an important part of any painting and is central to the idea of this image. The early light was coming from all around and was swirling around the swan in a fluid way almost as if it were liquid. I wanted to see how it would play out in a painting.
