Above The Lake - SOLD
Lake Erie, Bay Village, Ohio, Oil Painting, Daily Painting

9x12 oil on canvas panel. A bright, sunny and bitterly cold and windy day above Lake Erie. I lashed down my easel/tri pod with tent pegs and shivered my way through the painting and 12 mile bike ride to the lake and back. In the end, I am pretty well pleased with the results.

Three On Parkside -

9x12" oil on canvas panel. Another bike and paint day. I found this little street with a great view of Lake Erie which is what I had planned to paint. As I was looking at the lake I heard a faint bark and then a small chorus of barks. I looked around and in a window above I saw 3 little dogs watching me as I watched them.

9x12 oil on canvas panel. The weather was great and I needed a break from my studio work so I ventured out on my bicycle with the paint gear all packed up. It's going to take a few trips to get all of the kinks worked out but so far it's been great...and good exercise as well!

8x10" oil on canvas panel. This has been a favorite location for a few years. Everyday there will be more and more daffodils until eventually it looks like a river of flowers. The frame is a "digital" suggestion only.
