Days End. 9x12 acrylic on canvas.

Days End. 9x12 acrylic on canvas.   The patterns of blue, black and gold really struck me as a pleasing combination.  I believe it all comes down to staying awake to the possibilities.

Posting late this evening.  This was from a walk along the bikepath by the river a few weeks ago.  Loved the interplay of light on the water.

Another portrait of Jill.  She is one of my favorite models.  I painted this with the hopes that it would be selected in this years Annual Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic show in New York.  

Downtown Church. 12x14 acrylic on canvas.

I have a lot of catching up to do.  It's been almost a year since I ladt posted here!  Many apologies!  I will be posting every day now for the next several months to get up back up to date.   Much of the problem was computer issues and downright busyness!  Looking forward to getting back to blogging on a daily basis!

This painting is a street in downtown Rock Island, Illinois.  I love church steeples!
