The form of this architecture against sky and earth intrigued me to paint this scene. The way openings in the building led one into and out of the building and the way light and shadow played off the surfaces had a hypnotic effect on me. This painting was done some time ago but I'm updating it and reposting it here in a new format.

This is one of several pairs of Goldfinches in our backyard. This time of year, just like spring flowers, the finches are in their finest colors. In winter they become a drab color but during mating season the male becomes bright yellow as you see here.

SOLD
This is a reposting of an earlier image. This painting was done from a single apple, just painting it in different positions to create the composition on the mantel. The procession of the four apples across the ledge while still getting the light right demanded a careful study of the light in the actual room and the shadow effects of one apple on another.

Saturday we were out on Falling Waters Trail again. It was a bit chilly but when we got to a pond near Teft Road, we saw some Canadian Geese fly in. I got a beautiful shot of a drake showing off on the water. The light was gorgeous with partly cloudy afternoon sun. I wasn’t sure I got the movement, but when I got home and looked at the photo, I knew I had to paint it. It’s important for me to get the ambient light just right. For this one I had to adjust the light a bit, but everything else was perfect.

While I don’t usually post larger paintings on this blog, this painting is part of my one-person exhibition titled “Roots of Reality: East and West”, Sage Center for the Arts, Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan. The exhibition will continue until March 29. On my other blog you can scroll down to the February 16 posting to see the details of the exhibition.

Not far from St. Marks Square in Venice on a lagoon called Bacino Orseolo, gondoliers moor their boats when not in use for a period of time or during the winter. One day in winter, the gondolas were lined up and covered, creating an unusual pattern of shapes, colors, reflections and light. The beauty of these ancient forms added to the composition inspiring me to create this painting.

This is a sequel to "Wild Violets in Full Bloom" and "Wild Violets for Mother's Day".March 20, 2009 is just a few days away and the first day of spring this year. Violets are one of the first flowers in our backyard indicating that spring is here and warm weather is just around the corner. Everyone remembers the poem, “Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you”, however violets come in many colors including Violet. I’ve painted several violet paintings you can see on my blog by doing a ‘Violet” search including “Violets for Mothers Day”. This one is of purple violets, which is the state flower of my home state of Illinois.
