Boston Winter

Well, I've been enjoying the unusually warm weather we've had these past weeks.  However, this is New England, so I'm just waiting for those first snowflakes to fall.  Here's a scene of the Boston Statehouse from a snowy path through the Commons.  I loved the tree shadows falling across the snow.... puts me in a christmas mood :)
              Happy Christmas everyone and thank you for following my blog!

"Juicy"

Been thinking of making my apple pie for Thanksgiving and this painting that I did a year ago, popped into my head...... love the juiciness of the apples.... YUM!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Still on a learning curve...

Since I'm still new at this blogging, I failed to realize that you have to become a "Follower" to comment on my blogs (and I'm hoping you will).  Look in the Right Hand Column for Followers... I just moved it up to the top of the column so you can all find it... looking forward to hearing from you.

Check out my Illustration Blog...

Go take a look at my newest blog for my children's books and illustration art under my other blogs....

I'm equally passionate about both my fine art and my children's illustrations and this blog will enable me to show my latest work and interact with you all about it.   You will see my sketches and how I progress through to a finished illustration as well as seeing some fun stuff and doodles, etc. Thanks for looking !
I welcome any comments you might have and invite you to join and I look forward to interacting with my friends and followers.  Thanks... now it's back to the drawing board :)))

In the Moment

We had wonderful weather last May while driving from Antwerp to Amsterdam, but I was able to sketch this moment when the spring showers blew in... finally got around to painting it.

New Paintings...

"Cool River"  

"Still Waters" 

"Never Forget"...... I recently changed the title of this painting from "Remember". I feel the new title is stronger and encompassed, not just the remembrance of the innocent people who perished 10 years ago. It also held the promised that we stay vigilant in the future. Let us not forget we are vulnerable and there are people in the world who want America's destruction.
