More Trees!

AEI trees 1, acrylic, 10x12, 2005

Patty was my very first patron.  I don't have a photo of the apple and banana picture she bought way back then, but she has this one also.  Very abstract, kinda stormy like yesterday and today!

Trees!

Side Lake in Purple, pastel, 11x14, 2004 (or so)

Jill chose this one when she came to my show a few years ago. Thanks Jill! The purple and white combination is reminding me of Atwater today.  My hometown has been on my mind lately.  Trees have been on my mind too, because I recently tripped and crashed into one.  I keep replaying the incident in my mind, trying to figure out why I could not avoid it.  I guess it is best to just try to heal and move on.

Side Lake Dock, watercolor, 9x12, 2009

I keep thinking I'm going to post more recent work, but I've been letting school take too much time lately.  I actually have been painting, so there should be new stuff here soon.

I chose this one for today because I've been hearing lots of people talk about having to go to their cabins to take in the docks.  Don't forget the hip waders!  It's cold!

A tree and a bridge

Island Lake Park, watercolor, 2008, 7x11

Another black and white watercolor.  I guess I was working on controlling the amount of pigment.  I like that bridge, not sure why.  It is 694 near Victoria St.  Years ago I did a series of bridges, about 40 or so of the same bridge.  Lots of metaphorical possibilities with bridges.

Nice day for a walk

Roseville Central Park, watercolor, 7x11, 2009

I went for a walk in Roseville today.  Beautiful Fall Day!  A stranger asked to see what I was doing.  I showed her.  She said "Hm" and kept going. I smiled to myself.
