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.

11x14" oil on canvas panel. The third painting of the day. After "Spring Breeze" I simply turned around and found this right behind me. I loved the afternoon sunlight and the way it "bleached" out the shore line.

11x14" oil on canvas panel. Following my troubles with the wind while painting in the morning I made the adjustments I wrote about yesterday and headed out to try again in the afternoon. I set up in a low spot alongside the river thinking if there was any more wind it would be above me and the trees would block most of it. It worked like a charm. This is my favorite of my recent paintings. The frame is a digital suggestion only.

Down Hill, Downtown -

10x8" oil on canvas panel. I was excited when I found this location on Saturday so, early Sunday morning I was ready to paint there.The wind picked up as I began painting. About halfway through a huge gust picked up my easel and tipped it away from me. I caught one leg but, over it went spilling turpentine and brushes, unraveling an entire roll of paper towels down the sidewalk. We've all had this happen but it had been such a long time since I had to deal with wind that I was complacent. I packed up and headed to Home Depot. I picked up a 4 inch bolt, large washers and some extra nuts. I put it through a hole at the bottom of the tri-pod post where I now hang my back pack and bag of paints. I also found 2 tent pegs in my garage and now tie them to the top of the tri-pod post. I went back out later in the afternoon and my easel was solid and stable. It ended up being one of the best painting days I've ever had with three canvases that I am pleased with. The frame is a digital suggestion only.

Shore Study - Springtime, Fishing Season, Ohio, Cleveland Metro Park, river;s edge,Daily Painting

8x8" oil on canvas panel. This is a study for what I hope will be a larger painting. When I started there wasn't anyone around except me and my dog. My truck attracted a number of fisherman who thought something must be up if this guy parked in a remote area and hiked all of the way down to the river. Unfortunately for them it was a painter not a fisherman they found and my dog wouldn't let them come near me or our section of the river. She is a sweet, goofy and fairly timid dog but she really didn't know what to make of fisherman in their strange get ups carrying rods and nets and she really hates people walking up behind me. I was quite pleased that she discouraged them from hanging around.

Split Rail - SOLDFrostville, Metro Park, Ohio, Church, Split Rail Fence, Morning LightDaily Painting

12x12" oil on canvas panel. I painted this in Frostville. The early spring morning was perfect. I am intrigued with fences and their hidden or not so hidden meanings. There is always the questions of "who or what are they trying to keep out? or who/what are they trying to keep in? The church in the background added another layer of interest for me.

River Rocks - Rocky River, Metro Park, Tree, Spring Afternoon,Daily Painting

8x10" oil on canvas panel. It's always a great day when I'm in the woods or near the river. I had Maddie with me, we had a nice lunch and spent the whole afternoon painting and rambling. This is my idea of a perfect day. This painting is my second sketch.

Broken Silence Daily Painting, Tree, Broken, Ohio Landscape, Rocky River, Metro Park,March,Oil Painting

24x30" oil on stretched canvas. I hike along this ridge above the river most mornings. I was attracted by the color of the raw broken wood against the gray background. It suggested violence in this peaceful spot and I wondered if anyone heard a sound when this tree fell.

11x14" oil on stretched canvas. A view of the neighbors that had been hidden from us by a row of 20 foot arborvitae trees till the home owner decided to cut them down. Fortunately the fence still stands.
